hello lisa and goodmorning if you want to ask maureen anything just phone her if shes not there she always rings back, has mr small given you a date yet for your bypass as you should see him when you get your date,i might be able to answer your questons x x x you can PM if you want to

if he has given you a date for surgery then you will probably see the pre op assesment nurse next before the actual op. you will usually then see him on ward before the op. if you want to speak to the dietician direct just give her a ring as sarah said x

Hi sarah
thanks will ring her it was mostly just wanting to no test results but the app was so rushed i was only in 10 min as i said befor i went in wanting a band had he was happy to do that but at there meeting they were split as to band or bypass so left it to me and at the min i fell i changed my mind for the the wrong reasons which was i could lose the weight quicker and i didnt think i would struggel as much but im doing so well with eating the right food but im just hungry all the time (wish i could have a balloon for now lol) when i started this i wanted to take control of what i was eating again rather than my body telling me what to eat which is what it has being doing for the last 7y (wish i never packed in smoking)sorry for going on im starting to do my own head in (poor terry just sits and lets me go on at him then gives me a big hug and tells me ill get there in the end )
thanks and sorry again

hi dont be sorry this is why were here, you still have to take control off what you eat and drink with a bypass if you dont it can make you very bad and its not nice.a band is much more hard work as you have to have the will power of a saint not to eat the crap that goes through easy (this bits lizs expertise)like you i had acid reflux and recuring cheast infections so had to have the bypass. i hope your ok with your decision honey as it'll work out great for you x x

Hi sarah + liz
just got off the phone with maureen she told me to ask doc for reductil to stop the hunger talked to her about monday and she thought my feelings about the bypass and band were right as im now getting my head around the not needing crap and finding other food that give me the same feeling like pineapple and strawberries (its mad i now eat a fill pineapple and a box of strawberries a day)i really do think the band would suit me better and with the help from people on here i no i will do it just not as quick as with a bypass i no it will be longer and harder but my thoughts and feelings of a bypass are just not right for me
thank you it has really helped talking i have rang mr small sec and she going to tel him what iv said and maureen is going to talk to him to
thanks again
xxxx
