Pre op yesterday for sleeve

[Padmdhs]

Hi all I've been a member on here for a while but not posted much but I had my heart set on the bypass but was told I would be having a sleeve now I'm used to the idea I'm glad of the choice as if I don't get on as well I can always have revision surgery but I'm sure I will get on fine with my sleeve I had my pre op yesterday all went well with the ECG bloods are fine just had to have more to confirm blood type and also was mrsa tested which I'm sure will be ok all part of the routine just looking forward to joining most of you on the losers bench I have already lost nearly 4 stone pre op so I'm gunning for the op to get my life back

Hi there, I'm a sleever with not one singe regret. Op was the 14th Jan and started my pre op diet on 5th Jan and I'm 6 1/2 stone down.

Any questions I'd be happy to help and good luck with your journey.

Well done with the weight loss mate!

Why the change from bypass to sleeve? My surgeon offered both, but said that if for whatever physiological reason he couldn't do the bypass, he'd do the sleeve instead. I ended up with the bypass.

Thanks mate I'm not to sure tbh he said sleeve now and if need be bypass later where I'm having it done they mainly do sleeves so that maybe why

Fair enough....I hear most sleeve patients don't need the bypass anyway, and it's definitely less radical and thus slightly safer surgery too.

Wishing you all the very best brother.

Hi, I'm having my pre-op next Thursday and then my sleeveon 23rd August. Just out of interest, did they tell you what blood type you are?

 

[princess4d4]

No they dont but I knew mine already ask your gp/surgeon they may tell you

No but they did a blood test to find that out just in case they need to do a transfusion which is highly unlikely but I suppose there is no harm in asking
