Hello everyone my name is Annie and I've joined this site tonight. Although I've been following various WLS forums for quite some time. After a long 18 month wait I finally have my surgery date booked for tomorrow at Charing Cross Hospital. I am a little anxious I must admit this is a life changing experience but I'm keen to get this ball rolling. This weight has knocked my confidence over the years and it's now time for new beginnings for me and my family. Feel free to come and say hello. Any advice will gratefully be received. Take care. Annie x

Hi Annie and welcome to the forum. Which type of weight loss surgery are you having? Best of luck with it and hope you're back home recovering and looking forward to your new life very soon.

My surgeon is planning on doing a Gastric Bypass but he's told me he may have to do a sleeve first then later on do a GB. This is due to me having a gall bladder removal a few years ago and he thinks I may have some internal scar tissue. He won't know for sure until the surgery starts!

Hello everyone, just to let you all know I had my WLS on Thursday and I'm finally home. As mentioned in my previous message my surgeon was a little worried at first due to some previous surgery 20 years ago from a Gall Bladder removal and i was told of the morning of the operation that i must be prepared to have a sleeve with the chance to have a bypass further down the line. Well the good news is my surgeon was able to preform the full gastric bypass and he mentioned that part of the success was that he could see I had stuck to the pre op diet 100%. So if anyone is finding it hard, keep going it's definitely worth while. At the moment I'm finding it hard to get the required amount of fluids in but I'm sure that will come. I will post again in a few days. Good luck everyone! Annie x
