- Biography:
- Hiya, my name is Sasha and I am 35 years old. I live in Edinburgh in the UK. I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 20th September 2012. I have been obese for 8 years after years of bulimia and a few failed relationships. In 2007 I went to my doctor to look into having a gastric band (lapband) placed through the NHS. He told me they wouldn't look at me because I didn't meet the criteria. Instead, my wonderful parents paid for me to go private. I went to the Nuffield in Glasgow under a Mr Galloway and had the band placed. I had problems from the beginning. I was constantly sick, I lost loads of weight (fabulous!) but couldn't eat a thing (bad times) so I had it completely emptied and still I was being sick but still managed to pile all the weight I had lost back on. I went back to my doctor in July this year and asked him to refer me to a different private hospital in Edinburgh for a second opinion or just to have the thing taken out. I met Mr De Beaux at the end of August who did a barium swallow and a scan. My band had severley slipped and my port had flipped 180 degrees. So I thought a lot about what to do. In the end (along with the support and funds from my parents) I decided on the sleeve and it was the best desicion I ever made. Onwards and downwards to a new and healthier life. Fingers crossed, on the way, I hope to meet the man of my dreams! lol :)
