That would be cool. I've calmed down a lot now. I was very excited/nervous for the first couple of weeks but decided I couldn't go on like that as it may take a year to come!! I'd go mad by that point if I carried on in the same way!!!
My big problem at the mo is I can't stop eating!!! I think it's because I have this in the back of my mind all of the time so react in the same way as when I diet (i.e. think of food all of the time and want to eat ALL OF THE TIME!!!!!!!). Am I the only one to do this????

Nah hun it doesn't sound stupid. I have the exact same fears!! But if we could lose weight, and keep it off, then we wouldn't be opting for such a drastic measure would we????? Well I hope they don't hold it against us otherwise I'm screwed!! Hahahahahahaha!!!

All the surgical team at the Whittington are fabulous - check out the video on the NLOSS website (part of the Whittington Hospital website) so you can put faces to names. I met the new Dietitian yesterday - Lucy - again, lovely. Mr Sufi takes no prisoners but he is fantastic and he listens and he cares and he is always looking for ways to improve his department and the whole WLS experience. Mr Heath - Ive not had dealings with but I understand that he is wonderful too. They operate on Thursdays and Fridays as a rule - 2 a day - Sufi on Thursday and Heath on Friday. They aim to keep you in hospital no longer than 48 hours but of course this is always reviewed on a patient to patient basis. You spend the first 24 hours post surgery in ITU which is akin to being in a 5 star hotel - then the culture shock when they stick you on the Victoria Ward - they do their best but its not ITU! The only criticism I have about the whole process is the Administration - that is lacking in many ways and I would advise that if you want to chase appointments or funding or anything like that to email or call Kirsten and to bypass the Bariatric Co Ordinator - trust me on this one!
