Oh I totally forgot to say bypass is better for reflux. I'm based in Surrey I had my op at st. George's in tooting. I was quite a novelty as non of the staff knew anything about EDS I had so many staff visiting me lol. My pain is still as bad as it was before surgery but hopefully it'll improve.

I have EDS 3 and PoTs. I had gastric bypass surgery on the 6th may. If I can help just shout. Xox Ps I've heard the sleeve is best as we need all the vitamins we can get also need to be careful of potassium levels being too low. I have to have regular blood tests and will be closely monitored...

I'm having the bypass done up at St Georges tooting.

May 6th!! I won't lie I'm terrified, but I know this is the start of a brand new life for me.:D:D

Hi all so sorry I've not been around, thank you to all who responded to my 'Things I wish I knew' thread, it's been great reading stories from those who have been through surgery, no better way of learning if you ask me. I'm a bit further on in my journey, I've seen the dietitian now and next...

Hi, I was referred basically because I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, along with a host of other issues, and my being very over weight is severely impacting my joints (I have daily subluxations). It was actually my psychiatrist who referred me I was surprised as he knows all about my previous...

I'm literally at the very start as well. The surgeon has said he is very supportive of me having the surgery, but I've got a way to go until I find out if I get the funding. I'm at St. Georges London. Xx

Hi all, I've been eagerly reading all of your posts, I'm very early on in my journey towards surgery, so far I've just met with the surgeon. I'm due to meet the dietician at the end of the month. Anyway I thought it might be fun if any post op'ers could post 1 or 2 things they wish someone had...

Thank you Su2ie.

Thanks everyone, I'm so nervous, I'm actually worried I spoke to a friend who has had the operation and she thinks I won't be accepted because I don't have diabetes or heart problems, so many of the questions on the questionnaire were about those issues, I've been referred because I have ehlers...

Thank you for the warm welcome. :) :D

Just got the letter through, it's actually at st georges and I'm seeing a member of the baitric team I've been given questionnaires to fill in.
