    Default Finally have a date

    Hello everyone I hope you're all doing well I had a band removed January 2018 hoping for revision to sleeve at the same time but it was decided it would be done separately. Anyway I have finally been given the date for the surgery (a year and two months later )for a sleeve I'm all excited and nervous at the same time pre op diet stArts on 27February being admitted 19th March and surgery 20th March .... is there anyone else having the sleeve around this time ? Maybe we can help each other. I'm grateful for any advice or help I could get here .......
    Thank you .... much love xx

    Thanks for the reply. Im doing as much research as possible .. I dont feel worried at all well not at the koment anyway Just excited and nervous. I've made the decision not to tell anyone somimna bit concerned about that . My workmates just wouldn't understand at all and sadly I have no family left share it with other than my daughter but she doesn't live close I'm not too worried about support as I do most things without any help and have done for a very long-time but how well do people manage if they live alone post op

    Excited is good, nervous is normal.

    I only told my partner (of course) and 3 selected best friends (of over 40 years!).
    I wasn't about to open myself up to any negativity or misguided information from people who had no idea what the surgery was all about.
    I'm a bit more open about it now - but I choose who I tell.
    There are some people that I will never tell - even if they ask me directly - and I didn't tell anyone at work.
    It's your business and yours alone.

    The good thing about this forum is that we all know how you feel and we have all probably gone through the same things so there is always someone who will answer your questions. :-)

    Good luck to you. I am sure it was disappointing to not get the revision all done during the removal but hopefully this gave your body time to heal properly. Wishing you much success!
