    Hello again... all went well. I've come through the 'other' side without regret still. Yay!
    How about you? How did your surgery go? How are you holding up now?

    Hi Saras Sleeve - loved your post on the topic in the forums about Smoking.....so true, so easy to say by those who do not smoke, oh my goodness is it ever hard to stop smoking and do the pre-op weight loss at the same time......the patches make a nice red welt on my arm, butt, back and itches like crazy but it is the only thing that lessens my anxiety of wanting a cigarrette, so I endure. Surgery is Wednesday! Just taking it one day at a time, and some days are better than others! Good Luck and thanks for the giggle.

    Hi Sara's yes he is great good luck hope all goes well with you keep me posted. Make sure you take all your vitamins as I found I am losing a far bit of hair. So take care and when you see the nutritionist just mention it to her maybe you can avoid it for yourself.

    They orig. thought that is was pinched closed in the middle but as I went for the ballooning out test he said it was fine so after he got in there they ended up doing nothing. So 8 days in hosp for nothing but TPN (nutrition through a pic line). I had the whole team 5 Drs go over all my tests and know one can figure out why Im unable to keep solid foods down. Just prot shakes which I am totally sick of. They say they say they have seen this a few times and there is nothing they can do. Hopefully it goes away as I stay very hungary. Thanks

Sleeved!

by Saras_Sleeve on 06-08-2012 at 07:17 AM
Well I'm sleeved! 11 days out and all is well.

Went in for surgery on the Monday morning at about 7:30 and had surgery about 11am. Had a pre-med so don't remember a huge amount before waking up in recovery. Actually I don't remember much about waking up or getting back to my room either!?! My Mum was waiting for me in my room. I do remember telling her to go home, I just wanted to sleep.

Thanks to my huge sleep all day I slept terribly (not at all, really) that first

Been a while!

by Saras_Sleeve on 05-25-2012 at 05:12 AM
So it's been a while since I posted here, I have to admit i found an Aussie sleeve forum and have been hanging out there!

Surgery is in 3 days and I finished up work today for the next 2.5 weeks!

Lost 6.3 kg (13.5lb) in the last 11 days on my pre-op diet.

Good luck for all those being sleeved soon! x

Visit with the physician today.

by Saras_Sleeve on 04-10-2012 at 01:53 AM
I just walked in the door from my physician visit this morning. Left after an hour chatting with a lovely doctor – really feel like I got my $200 worth lol.

She is the doctor who assists with my surgeon in all his surgeries so I felt comforted knowing she would be there with me on the day.

What happened:
  • Went through family history/medications/weight history etc.
  • She prodded my stomach (made me cough/breathe etc)
  • Poked my feet and checked circulation.

60 Days and 60 Reasons

by Saras_Sleeve on 03-29-2012 at 07:50 AM
60 days to wait, I feel a little like I'm doing the Christmas countdowns I loved so much as a child. Maybe we need an Advent calendar for the sleeve? What would I like in the little boxes? Biotin, to make sure my hair doesn't fall out down the track.

I thought I'd list 60 reasons I'd like to lose weight. Help keep me motivated and keep me focused on the positives ahead! I'll get them all done by the time my surgery rolls around. I have a feeling they'll get a little obscure by the

I can't think of a title.

We have probably all had this response from someone we know at some time.

Me: "Wow, you look amazing. How have you done it?"
Friend: "Thanks! I'm just eating smaller healthier portions and exercising more."
Me: "Oh."

This has always left me feeling like shit. These are the thoughts I have...

Why can't I JUST eat less?
Why can't I choose healthier foods?
What am I doing wrong?
Why do I
