Preparing for gastric sleeve surgery is more than booking a date, it’s a journey of research, reflection, and self-discovery.
From comparing UK vs abroad options to tackling the liver reduction diet, we share every step we took before surgery, including what we wish we’d known earlier and how we made the decision together as a couple.
Life after a gastric sleeve surgery is a constant process of learning, adapting, and rebuilding both body and mind.
Here, we break down our recovery experiences from the first days in hospital to getting back on our feet, learning to eat again, and managing the physical and emotional ups and downs that come with such a big change.
We document our progress, challenges, and milestones through regular updates and blog posts.
From navigating unexpected side effects to celebrating hard-earned weight-loss goals, these posts offer an honest record of our shared experience the good, the bad, and everything in between.
We’ve been together for more than 15 years and, after years of struggling with weight and health issues, we chose to undergo gastric sleeve surgery together in 2024.
Our goal with Gastric Sleeve Journey is simple: to create the kind of resource we wished existed when we were researching our own surgeries. A space that’s honest, practical, and personal — not medical jargon, not sugar-coated success stories.
We share everything from the first consultation to the daily lifestyle changes, the mental hurdles, and the realities of maintaining weight loss long term.
We’re not medical professionals — just two people sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in the hope that our experience can help others make informed choices.
