Newbie-Got a date for first consultation

[Sarahmaria]

Hi guys, names sarah.tried to post this on the sleeve forum but guess it belongs here. New to posting but hae been reading the forum for a while now. Finally decided to take the wls plunge few weeks ago. Tried every diet imaginable;
Weight watchers (lost a stone, put on two)
Slimming world (lost 2 stone, put back on 1)
Lipotrim (lasted 2 days)
Boot camp (lost 8lb in a week but put it all on plus more when i got back)
Alli (lasted 2 days)
Slimfast (lasted 2 days)
Calorie counting (lost 2 stone, put it all back on)
Exercising (last a week)
Etc etc

So i guess iv come to the conclusion that wls is my only option. Im in my late 20s, have pcos, achey back/knees, high cholesterol and severe depression which are all largely related to my weight.
Im an emotional eater-jobs v.v.v.stressful and food is the only thing which calms me.

After researching eerything i think te sleeve is prob best suited to me. Im from ireland so my options are a bit more limited as have to plane travel. At the minute im toying between wlsgroup and ameet patel in london. Anyome got any advice on either option?

Really glad this forum exista. You are all very inspiring.
Sarah

Thanks guys. Am undecided between wls group in birmingham or manchester or somewhere or london with mr patel. Have consultation with wls gruop next week so maybe they will sway me!!

I went with them in Sheffield. Im not sure what aftercare is required for you but for me as a bander I have somewhere local for extra fills do when you see Steve and Wendy you may want to establish how often you're likely to need to go back afterwards?

Good luck kirsty! Let me know how it goes. N its great ul be getting a wee holiday to brussels out of it too!!

Ta jo-yeah it just ocurred to me that i dont really know the score with aftercare. Jeez i better start writing down questions to ask them cus iv got a million at the mo.
