Hi , has anyone had this done and have any useful tips they’d be willing to share ? Zi just had the dye test ( so much was put up me it filled my stoma bag !!!) and it looks good to go for the procedure which i’m having done privately … cheers
Hi . Have a look at the link below then if you’ve any particular questions then please ask. It’s a much smaller operation than the LAR but you still need to be careful with your diet for a few days after. You will not go back to how things used to be but will eventually settle into a new normal. The first few months can be trying but stick with it as things can improve for up to 2 years.
Take care
