Hello

Hi

Sorry you have found yourself in this group but I am sure you will find lots of support.  I had a partial gastrectomy three years ago and recovered well.  You can read my Blog by clicking on my name.  
While I was lucky and only a partial gastrectomy was required many others on this site had a full gastrectomy and adjusted well.

Eating little and often is important especially in the early days.  I got great advice from the Oespheagal Patient Association website 

https://opa.org.uk

It’s a good place to start and I am sure the medical team will give you support and advice.

My life is pretty much as before, I eat smaller portions but still eat out although less due to Covid.

Happy to answer any questions you have!

Good luck!

Hi Slim, 

I'm also waiting for the same op, I have a heart problem that's halted my chemo so we're going straight for surgery, im like you, a bit scared of the unknown but I'm happy to chat to you in the same boat
