    Default Sleeved in Sydney

    We'll I did it! I've officially joined the sleeved side and couldn't be happier right now! It's only been 3 days but seriously all that worrying and freaking out was for nothing, the whole experience has been amazing.

    I'm so surprised out how little pain I'm in, have had no nausea or vomiting (phew) so hopefully this will stay that way. I think choosing the right doctor makes all the difference too - my doctor is amazing and he makes me feel so much better about it all.

    Anyway, just thought I'd post my joy as up until now I've been a wreck and was close to backing out. So glad I did it, I really think this is going to work for me.

    Yay!

    That's fabulous Angela. Wishing you all the very best for your future. Slow and steady goes it. Listen to your body. Each day is a new experience, and the coming weeks a big learning curve. But you'll be fine. Good luck.

    Glad to hear. I think we would be lying if we said we weren't scared before our surgery. Just do what your doctor says and you will continue to have success.

    Good luck - Bonnie

    Dee the best piece of advice I can give you is to do whatever you are told. I hated very second of the pre-op and so badly wanted to cheat just a little but I never gave in and he was so impressed with my weight loss and how well the whole procedure went. I truly believe that made a huge difference cos I've read a lot of people that cheated and they were quite sick. The pre-op is really the worst of it so once you get through that it's great - well at least that's how I feel right now. Message me anytime and id be happy to chat to you along the way!!

    I agree with Angela. Follow the doctors instructions and pre-op. The surgeon was so impressed by how well my surgery went, and I truly believe it was because of followed the pre-op perfectly. I wanted to be in the best position possible for my surgery (cause I have heart, lung, blood conditions, clotting conditions) and I think it made all the difference. I did have a few little issues but that was days after the surgery. But no major problems. It was great.
