Who me? Bypass....Sara, its leanne, your friend from Facebook x

Girls, I am in kettering and had my op done in Birmingham last year x

Hi, I am interested in buying this book but seemingly it is only available from America and the shipping costs are more than the book!! Does anyone have any idea of anywhere else it can be purchased or have one that they want to sell? Cheers x

Julie, I have to say that I just did a stint in gynae theatre and didn't have to get permission from any patients. In fact, I never saw any of them conscious but I was only observing. When I work with ladies that are awake of course I have to ask their permission and get consent to do anything...

Wow Jaxx, I could have written that myself. I am at exactly the same point as you...weight staying the same and me not putting anywhere near enough effort in. Every day I tell myself that today is the day to get a grip but find myself munching almost continuously throughout the day... You have...

I waited 9 months from first appointment with GP to surgery also x

Can I just say that although Heartlands has a brand new bariatric department your actual op is done in the main hospital. The surgeon and team were great but I was sent to an ENT ward where the staff seemigly had no clue about bariatric surgery and were less than friendly... But...only had to...

No catheter for me either x

Hi Sarah, You will be hard pushed to find any cereal with such a low sugar percentage but as you don't eat 100g of cereal I have always been fine. I started off with one weetabix... But now eat all bran, fruit and fibre, rice krispies with no problem. It's trial and error really x

Sarah, I am over the moon for you. What brilliant news xxxx

Hope you're ok. Don't hold your breath waiting for a call back from Heartlands. Their follow up care is poor. Ring your GP tomorrow if you are still worried. Take care hun x

Hi and welcome to the forum, I too am from Northants and my BMI was 60 and life was a struggle. A year later I am around ten stone down and feeling fab. I had my op in Birmingham.... Good Luck and keep us informed x

Me too. I have just had 2 weeks off and they have probably been my worst 2 weeks for eating post bypass. The trouble is then that habit is hard to break again. I guess if we have been doing the same things for years it takes time to replace bad habits with better ones. Keep going cos you're...

Well done Lisa...you have done brilliantly. How are you finding maintenance? Do you count your food or just go with it? x

Do you think it matters where and when we had the surgery? I had mine in Birmingham last may. Would be good to speak to others in the same situation x

Oooh I would be interested in this. I live in kettering and have never heard of any support groups in this area x

Julie, I hear you hun. I thought my obsession over food had disappeared but nope, seemingly i'm stuck with it. But like you say, fill up on meat and veg and there will only be a tiny corner for a taste of pud. Have a fabulous day x

As long as you are getting plenty of protein with it I really can't see how it would do you any harm at all. Enjoy x

Nice one. For me these little acheivements mean so much and I love to read about how other peoples lives are chnging for the better. Keep up the good work x

Sarah, I have only just spotted your post. I too can relate to how you are feeling and how the simple things in life become a massive struggle. Hang on in there my darling, your time will come xx
