So it’s been a year everyone! How is everyone doing? I’ve lost just over 8 stone and so so happy! Still have around a stone to lose but I feel fantastic! Hope everyone else is doing well xx

Hi I had my mini gastric bypass at the end of July last year (7 months ago). It’s been incredible so far. Loved every moment of it! I’ve lost just over 7 stone and I couldn’t be happier. In the past 6 weeks I have found it more and more difficult to lose any weight. I have about 2 stone to...

How are you doing?

Hi. The travel on the way back was difficult but not as bad as I was imagining. I was sore but it wasn’t an intense pain. I stayed in hospital for 3 nights and had another 1 at a hotel near the hospital. Yes, the package includes the hotel for the entire duration so someone can come with you and...

I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well! I came here to see how you're all doing Since my surgery on July 28th I've lost 4 stone 8lbs and I'm delighted! Still a long way to go but I'm feeling so positive. I'm eating lots of salads and hitting the gym at least 3 times a week! I hit a 3 week...

Yep I am following the guidance from my surgeon. All the things I am eating are things they gave me in the hospital and are on the food sheet. I was just worrying about the tiny portions I'm eating. I can only manage a teaspoon of yogurt for instance, and that will be a meal for me.

Ah ok, maybe I don't need to be worrying about calories at this stage then. That's good! I'm having yoghurt, actimel, very thin soup and Dutch crispbakes. All in teeny tiny portions though. Just trying to get as much water in as possible too, but probably not enough. I just feel full all the...

Hey I'm almost a week post op so really new to all of this. I know roughly how many calories I should be eating in the long term but I have no idea what's considered 'normal' at this stage. I know that 'normal' is different for everyone but I'm a bit concerned that I'm not eating enough. I'm...

Sorry I haven't updated. The op was a success, slight complication because apparently 'my intestines are strange' so I have slightly larger incisions and the op took a lot longer than normal. It scared the hell out of my husband who was going out of his mind and couldn't find anyone who knew...

Thanks Victoria! I'm currently lying on my bed just waiting. Another lady just went in for her MGB so im after her. All the tests have come back fine and my IV is in. The care so far has been very good

Thanks mollypop :) I have to be at the hospital for 7 to have a consultation with the surgeon and have some tests. They estimate my surgery time to be roughly noon when they have had my results back. The pizza was a mistake! All the salt has made me soooo thirsty! And I can't drink anything...

Thanks! So nervous! I'm in Belgium now. I saw Bart today and talked through what I need to do in the morning. I was allowed a last meal so we had Pizza Hut for dinner! Because I've been fat free for a few weeks, it made me feel a little ill haha. I'll let you know how it goes! I'm so terrified...

Hey everyone. Thought I'd come here to ask some advice. I leave for Belgium on Thursday. I paid the money to BSS over a week ago but they haven't confirmed they have received my money. I emailed Bart again yesterday evening and received a response this morning saying they will check at the...

Thanks Feebee, I am going to chase again tomorrow. Apparently the man who checks the account has been on holiday! So I'm hoping tomorrow he will be back at work and they will let me know. If not I'll email again in the evening. Don't want to make too much of a pest of myself haha.

Ah I'm glad to hear the hospital and treatment was good. Got my fingers crossed for you for when you see the consultant in the UK

Thanks guys. I'm so nervous! I've had surgery twice before but it's been emergency surgery so I haven't had time to dwell on it and get scared! I'm finding the waiting pretty difficult, I just want it done so I can stop worrying. Looking forward to a new lifestyle though! The pre op diet...

That sucks! I assume you got most of your money back because they couldn't do the surgery? Fingers crossed for you that you can have it done in the UK! I'm terrified of something like this happening to me, I can't afford to get it done in the UK so this is pretty much my only shot!

Thanks everyone! BSS got back to me and thankfull said it'll be fine! The bruising and swelling is going down pretty quickly too, phew!

Thanks My provider is in Belgium so I'm hoping they respond to my email quickly. Yes I'm definitely finding it more difficult to breathe through my nose. I think that is due to the swelling so I'm hoping in a few days when the swelling goes down I'll be able to breathe properly again. Fingers...
