Hi

Really glad I found this site I have hundreds of questions!

but for now here are the facts...

I'm Elliot, I'm 24 and from Warrington (near Manchester).

I had my sleeve on 7/10/13 so I am 16 days post op.

My starting weight (before pre op diet) was 23.9st

I now weigh 21.3st (-34lbs)

I had my op in Prague

its totally fine, you will go in. one min you will be awake the next you will be waking up a bit drugged up. Then you will a bit rubbish for a day. but then every day after that you will feel 10 times better!

Welcome! Why Prague?

It was much cheaper than anything I could find in the UK.
It was actually a British agent that arranged it.

Wouldn't the NHS agree funding?

well, I went to my doctor who suggested a 3 year diet plan and therapy or something along those lines. so I just went and got it sorted.

The impression I got was he expected me to sit in a knitting circle "Hi my names elliot and Im well fat" haha

Very, very normal, mine is doing the same. It goes it peaks and troughs. How about getting someone to hide the scales and only jumping on them weekly?

I know, I know I'm my own worst enemy, I've done hundreds of diets and I know not to keep weighing my self. Just get excited!
