Hi Loz, I think you're doing same as me --- balloon first to see how you cope with restriction, then bypass if all is well? I'm sure Kim said that it would take three months from having the balloon out to give your tummy a bit of a rest to them doing the surgery.

Hope your balloon goes ahead on 22nd and hope mine isn't long behind! We should both be done and dusted by this time next year.

yea i am doing same as you psychologist said this way would be best hes not to keen on me going for bypass 1st and thanks novamay cant wait just hope snow stays away til them as its takes 45 mins to hospital from mine and me mate who taking me dont like driving in snow xx

I know what you mean... I had my nurse appointment in January last year and the snow was really bad. I set off an hour earlier than I needed to - just in case!

 

[loz31uk]

yea think thats wat we will have to do as really dont want to have to wait any longer

hi loz i was thinking sleeve but iam just reading up on everything

 

[loz31uk]

well good luck kim my first choice was band but then put weight on so they made me go see psychologist and told me bypass would be better but psychologist aint keen on that so wants me to have balloon first then if body takes to it then bypass xx

 

[kimsvespa]

i went to the doctors to get refered for the band but have asthma so thinking sleeve might be best
