followed by an impromptu pre-op, checked bloods, MRSA swabs, ECG, BP, weight, height and a more in depth chat with the baratric nurse about LRD, post op medication, post op diet etc. Was given post op medications; 2 anti clotting injections and 2 x 2 anti nausea tablets. 02/04/19 start 2 weeks Liver Reducing Milk Diet. 16/04/19 Operation day, admission 11am, weight 21st 9lb, operation time 3.30pm, ended up with a RNY Gastric bypass, an umbilical hernia repair and an additional hiatus hernia repair, all went well, but had quite a lot of gas pain after, was back in recovery by 7pm.

so told me to have blood test done with GP. I'm so angry. Weight today 19st 3lb. 6/8/19 First Blood test & B12 jab, also hair loss has started. *UPDATE* Hair loss lasted about 2 months, wasn't severe, I took high strength biotin and used biotin & collegan shampoo. 30/10/19 Luton 6 month check up and blood test.
