Hi I hope everything is going well with u just keep urself positive it is so important for the healing and reaching ur goal. I am sure ur husband is so worried it is a big operation, u just need understand his feelings, believe me men are not as strong emotionally as we r, but don't let that stoping u. Of course they advised u about having the Protein shakes and Soup . I have tried all shakes in the market the best I found for myself was kick start that the one they advice me to have. It is only available online if u wana try it tell me I send u the site. Also if u on Skype u can add me amy200686 my Skype is always on my phone. As well I am a pharmacist so should u need anything I can help with plz let me know. I wish u all the best. And keep n touch. Amany

Hi stardust I am in QLD I had my surgery last year with dr Greg Nolan he was fantastic. It wasn't easy to have the surgery my husband was completely against it and didn't offer me any support. He didn't even call or visited me in the 4 days I spent in the hospital. He didn't even picked me up. I have to arrange for a cap to back home which is 100 km away from the hospital. But I didn't care about all of that I knew that I had to do it for myself and my daughter. I can assure u that I didn't have any complications at all even my health was very down all my tests wasn't good and my ECG wasn't normal, but all gone through fantastic. I was able to drive straight away after I back home, I back to work a week after. Just think about urself first keep going. If u need anything about the diet etc just text me. That will b my pleasure to help Good Luck Amany

Hi likasulema Thanks for ur support And I am still can't eat solid food except porridge I am trying everyday one new food but my stomach can't hold it and I vomit probably my stomach still inflamed as I am diabetic the healing might take longer, even my diabetes is absolutely better than before. As well from my little experience having 3 shakes wich make 60 g protein with little two to three meal per day will help lose more weight. The most thing I am really happy with is my sugar craving disappear completely. Good luck for everybody.

Thanks Julie. How did u go with ur sleeve? I hope all going well for u. I think we deserve it after a big journey of too much weight we were carry. Good luck

I sleeved on 15th of may. Lost 5 kg per op and 13 post op total 18 kg. half the way of my gall. Couldn't eat much still mainly on shakes and purée food. But my overall health is well. Just like to share with everyone my trip. I am so proud of myself. Yay

Had the surgery on Tuesday. The dr found as well a massive huge hernia as he described it. It is been fixed as well. The surgery took longer time coz of the hernia, as well as it took me as they said 5 hours to back from the anaesthesia. Other than that everything is going ok. I am on the liquid diet, I am feeling full with the 30 ml per hour. The surgin thinks I am doing great and the diatition said I am doing well. I will start the shake in Friday. The physiotherapist took me for a long walk all going great. I think everything is fine. Please don't stop praying for me

Thank u for ur advices I really should calm myself down, I am really excited for this op and hopping it will change my life for better. I think might have to be selfish even for day so I can overcome it. Keep mention me n ur praying

Am due for surgery after 7 hours it is 3:20 am here n Australia. Couldn't get any sleep, very worried stressed, had a big fight with my husband, I am staying alone n the hotel and will go to the op by myself tomorrow. Left our daughter with him as well for her school. Missing her so much. I was expecting that she will b with me and will first face I see when I open my eyes. I didn't expect to be that Lonly in this big day. I am sorry for my depressive talking, but I am really very down and this place is only one I can find ppl to share. Plz pray for me that I can go throw this tough time and the op go well. I want to see my daughter again.

Hi I am due on 15th, but I am n Australia. I suppose to stay for 3 days post op, but I am diabetic and did have a kind of cardiovascular problem, I think these three days is essential for the dr to make sure that everything is going well for me. As ur doctor choose for u only one day stay, ur health might b stable and he thinks that u don't need longer medical attention post op. u shouldn't be worry if ur health post opneeds longer stay make sure that ur dr will never discharge u. By the way shorten ur stay in the hospital if don't need too is much better as this will decrease the risk of getting the hospital acquire infection. So just b positive and don't hesitate to discuss any of ur concerns with ur dr, that is ur health and ur right to feel safe and comfy Good luck Amany

Thanks for everyone posted to support me. I am using now the nicotine patches and the e cig as well when I am feel need the hand mouth craving. The doctor recommended as well valium twice a day to calm me down as I had to stop my antidepressant coz some side effects, which make hard to quite, as well as he gave me sleeping tablets as I used to wake up at night to smoke. It seems that this combinations working out. I can't say that it is easy I am struggling, but the doctor said within 2 weeks I will not need the Valium or the sleeping tablets and the carving will get better. I am doing all I can do. I added as well drinking lots if water and chammomile, I keeping myself busy and I go for a walk and joined a quit smoking support group. I hope I can do it not only for the op but I aim that will be for ever. Plz keep praying for me. Thanks again Amany
