One week to go .....

[Tricia1953]

I am a very new member and I am due for my gastric bypass op next Saturday!! I have taken a look around the site and have found lots of really good information. I am beginning to feel quite nervous now but also I am really looking forward to my new life. My surgeon is Mr El-Hasani and I am going into the Chelsfield Hospital. I am confused by all the different pre-op diets that people seem to be on! Mine is the no carb, no dairy and no sugar one. I am coping well with it although a green salad with no dressing is an abomination!! My weight loss since 20 Feb has been 12 pounds. I have surprised myself how I have managed. Today is my 59th birthday and we are going out for dinner tomorrow evening (as my son, daughter and grandson all have birthdays next week). I, of course, will be sticking to chicken, green salad and water!! I just wanted to introduce myself and I am looking forward to the future but nervous about the op and the following few months.

hi tricia and welcome to this wonderful site.
i am having my op next week too. i am having sleeve op next thursday 08th march at darlington memorial hospital. my surgeon is mr. samier.
i am very anxious and keep having silly thoughts like will i wake up etc., i have even wrote a will!!
anyway, as you have already found this site is very informative but also the peeps are all very supportive and welcoming too.
i hope your op goes smoothly and that you have a swift and successful recovery.
please keep posting your progress for others to read
thanks my love

Hi Tricia, I also had my operation with Mr El-Hasani at Chelsfield, They are all very pleasant there and will look after you.

Hope it all goes well
