I want to wake up 11 stone , how mad is that ! I want to feel nice again , back to that laying in one place when I'm in bed with the hubby , feel so ugly :( ooo nooo on. Right rant now !!!!

This does work, if you follow the guidelines. Do you have to be awake for the camera? I've been sleeved and never heard of that?

Hi there - really understand your reservations re endoscopy, but if your op for the sleeve is on Mon I would have thought that you might be under gen anaesthetic when they do it cos very often they will have a quick look around with the camera thingy then if all looks good will proceed with the surgery. That was my experience when I had total hysterectomy plus ovarian c surgery a couple of years back - the surgeon told me he didn't know what they'd find... Or if they could even operate until they'd put the camera in! Thankfully it all went to plan. Will be thinking of you, good luck! P.s. Which hospital are you being sleeved at? I live near Warwick and will be going to Spire B'ham. x

Thanks. I've only taken the first step - I have a consultation in Birmingham at the beginning of March to talk it through with the specialist Dr and assess my suitability. 8 months ago I decided I wanted the band then after reading SO many negative reports, decided no way! I changed my mind - I want the sleeve!! Your lower body lift - is that Dr Chien Kat? I read some years ago that she's one of the UK's top plastic surgeons.

I just had a endoscopy. Super super easy. I learn if you go in with the right state of mind. Basicly saying I'm going to just let my mind think positive and just go with the flow. It was so easy I even wondered for a sec if they even did it. I did get a hand IV. Which I can't stand but I made myself so relaxed and they found a vein fast.
