Hi Gav in Sydney, I'm up the road in Brisvegas :-) But I used to live in Newtown. Many congratulations on your decision and read lots of things on this site first as it will really prepare you well. Please also ask all your questions, I have had so much help from here. How great that your wife is going to have it too. You will be very useful to her in the first weeks after having had it yourself. Join in the conversations on here and you will be a right regular by the time you have your op. Plus we need a few more Aussies :-) ( Although i'm English, Kiwi, Aussie... I'm versitility itself :-)

Welcome Gav! Congrats on your decision to get sleeved. And so awesome that you and your wife will be able to support each other through the process. This surgery is a game changer. Read up as much as you can now. Reach out if you have any questions or need support.
