About Megso228
- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- I have been dieting (or not) for more than 20 years and the weight just keeps adding up. Worse still, about 10 kgs ago I developed sleep apnoea which has just got worse with the extra weight . More recently I have had a blood test showing an extremely high cholesterol level! So I'm fat, unhealthy and at risk of having a stroke as a result of sleep apnoea. My BMI may only be 33 (only???) but with co-morbidities I feel a sleeve is the best option for me.

Just arrived home from hospital after 3 days of being well looked after although not only did I have a sleeve done, I had a hiatus hernia repaired as well. I haven't weighed myself yet and will hold off until tomorrow morning. I fully expect not to have lost much in the 3 days due to all the fluid pumped in so I won't be too disappointed. However I will keep you posted of the weight loss as it happens and I'll try not to complain (too much) whenever I 'plateau' - I refuse to use the word stall.

By this time tomorrow I hope to out of recovery and flying high on mess! Surgery is tomorrow and I can't wait. I'm currently enjoying my last cup of tea before my pre op fast begins and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I'll keep you posted!

Unbelievable! There has been a cancellation and I now have a surgery date! 14 February and I start my pre op diet in 4 days. Haven't seen the dietician yet but the clinic took pity on me as I need to have had time to recover from the surgery before my husband goes in to have a hip replacement, so they allowed me to take the cancellation a week ahead of my expected date. SOOOOOO excited!
