Gastric surgery

I actually have a consultation with a surgeon next week

I did! Saved my life. I lost 210 lbs sorry I’m not sure about the conversion .

I was going to have it before I got pregnant and I had been doing everything my GP and the hospital asked me to do went through all the proper procedure’s and appointments and I got down to arranging a date to speak with the surgeon about fixing a date to have my surgery done and then I found out I was pregnant - all that took 4 years and done over the pandemic years and then I found out I got discharged back to my GP (something I was never told about and didn’t authorise) and I have to do the whole process again - I was distraught and spent a long time upset by it - so I got my GP to refer me for it again and the hospital are basically ignoring every email my GP sends them, it’s at the point now where I will save up money and go private if I have to even if that takes years.

I did it before having pregnancies. 314 was my highest weight but I was 290 surgery day. I went down to 168lbs and then stuck to 175-180lbs for some years. Then after getting married and having 4 pregnancies I slowly got back to 270lbs 😭😭 you have to be committed to the diet lifestyle and avoid slider foods. A lot of people struggle with regain but for me, I’m sure if I didn’t have all the pregnancies would have maintained my weight loss better. I loved being able to run and do yoga after weight loss.
