Hi All
I'm new to this, i'm due to have a bypass on Friday 1st July and was informed of this site at my pre op assessment.
I started my journey by visiting my GP in March 2010 - since then with diet and exercise i have lost 6 stone and 10 pounds ....
I'm now in a position where i'm looking at the long term effects of the surgery and wondering whether i will ever by able to socialise properly with family and friends in the future.
Can anyone tell me when if ever i will be able to go for a few drinks or have a meal out - without having to explain why i'm drinking water or eating a third of a meal ??
Also i have been told to get some 'chewable' multi vitamins for after surgery - can anyone advise me on the best place or type to get please.
Thanks
Ian
