Hello everyone, just another update.. I’ve finally got my op date! Pre op appointment is 18th June and op is 3rd July! Just over 4 weeks, I am absolutely petrified but excited at the same time lol. Anyone else? X

I had preference over the sleeve yes and they told me that because I was young sleeve would be best for me.. the bypass was a bit too daunting for my brain but that’s just me! Ooo not long then! Thankyou :) please reply back and let us know how it goes! I’m 22. 5ft1 and 116kg so I have to lose...

Hey guys, thought I should write a quick update. Had my MDT in Chichester on Friday (1st March) and got approved for a sleeve at the end of summer.. so nervous but so excited! How is everyone else’s journey pre op or post op? Any of you had/having the sleeve? Xx

Hello Lucy, no it’s not my first appointment on this journey. I’ve been doing tier 3 which is part of the process to be accepted for weight loss surgery for ages now. This will be my first appointment at the hospital where I will meet the surgeon, dietician etc where they will tell me wether I’m...

I'm not 100% sure but the letter says i will be having an all day appointment meeting a dietician, surgeon, anesthesiologist etc and everyone else that has it at chichester say the same and they tell you at the end of that appointment wether youll have surgery or not so it will be a big day! Oh...

Hey guys, I know I haven't written on here much since but I just wanted to let you know I have my MDT at chichester on the 1st of march, im scared stiff! dont know what to expect but im also excited.. how is everyone? xx

I did hear that before, thankyou, thats not an issue really just my mum is so concerned about me having the surgery as it is and she also keeps asking me if I'll be able to have children after lol which I've told her if anything I'll have more of a chance as weight loss increases fertility...

Thankyou ladies for informing me on the meds, scary stuff but its life changing.. and I need to change my life if I want a happy and healthy one. xxx

Thankyou all for your replies, I think bypass would be best for me as its the most weight loss and most restriction (so i've heard) yet the thought of my organs being rerouted freaks me out a little lol. Also, with the bypass.. do you have to take any medications for life after? Vitamins...
