Mine has also been cancelled for the same reason! Totally gutted too but I understand they had no choice.

You poor thing i am so sorry to hear that. It is horrible because you have to prepare yourself so much psychologically! I hope you're right and it's only a couple of days later than your original date. Like Emma said just keep your head in the game...you can do it! Xx

Good luck with your journey xx

Hi Caroline, it is probably best to check with your team as each hospital seems to have different rules for the pre-op diet. I am being sleeved a week today at Coventry and the diet I am on is milk and yoghurt only and I can't add anything to the milk but others are different. Good luck!

I am excited but also very nervous!! Yes the milk and yoghurt diet is awful but it is a means to an end and I figure they have reasons for using it so it's best to just go with it! Also helps that I am down almost 4kg in a few days! Yes it would be good to stay in touch and have someone at...

Hi Victoria Well done on sticking to the diet all over Christmas! I am also scheduled for surgery in January, thankfully I only have to do the LRD for 2 weeks, so started Saturday, but the Coventry team do milk and yoghurt only...its not fun! I am having a sleeve on 13th, what surgery will you...

I am scheduled for a sleeve on 13th Jan at Coventry. Started LRD on Saturday. What can you have on your LRD?

On one occasion I ended up in a and e...

Thanks FeeBee, it is very reassuring to hear from so many who have no regrets. Positively life changing is definitely what I'm after and the more I read other people's stories and successes the more convinced I am that this will be it for me too! :D

My only concern with the permanent aspect is because of the problems I had with the band. I would feel very desperate if I had the same problems with the sleeve and couldn't do anything about it. If it all works perfectly then it's fine that it would be permanent! I hadn't realised about the...

Wow sounds like you've had a heck of a journey! I hope that the sleeve works out to be the answer for you, I will look forward to keeping an eye on your progress over the coming months! X

Thanks for the welcome! Mazza what was your experience with the band? How long have you had the sleeve? I am happy to attend the appointments....want to get as much info as possible! Also hoping I can take my husband so he can understand a bit more. I had the band before I met him but he has...

Hi all, I am new to this despite having had previous weight loss surgery. I was originally banded privately in December 2008 and for the first year it seemed to be going extremely well. I lost 5 stone in 12 months and my surgeon and dietician said I was achieving far more than expected. As...
