    I was off 10 days but could have gone back after a week (desk job) you could do with being off work till after the weekend to give you that much needed time to recover.  Good Luck with your Op. Once checked in (birmingham too) there is a wait time and other tests - ask where you are on the list so you know and take your ipad tablet or phone or a book to help with the wait.  Staff are lovely.   Blink and its over - its the time to heal after you need.  Remember to get in some windeze and chewable tablets or something similar to help with your trapped gas that they pump you with to help with the op. Take your painkillers even if you think you dont need them and move about as soon as you can too as this will help.  We're all here to help x

      Once your checked in, the nurse will come possibley take some blood samples and give you some sexy stockings to wear!  ask you numerous questions and then the Surgeon and the Anaethetist go to visit you one by one too and ask more questions.  And of course you can ask them!  ask the Surgeon where you are on the list. Else it will be a waiting game.  The op takes about 45 mins but once you ly on that bed and he says youll be out in 10 seconds - i woke up the recovery room and had to ask if I had had the Op!! Be thinking of you on 31st x remember to tell us how you get on!

      I'm pretty much the same as you really, food isn't interesting me at all at the moment, been feeling pretty good; just been taking windeze.

      Since the preop I am 3 pounds off a stone of weight loss, your beating me!!
