Sunette

I was so shocked to read about lifesavermt. Make me really worried about my operation. Never had surgery before so everything will be a first for me. My heart goes out to the family:(

I am on my pre-surgery diet. Failed to stick it today so disappointed with my self. Haven't lost much since starting a week ago initially only lost 1 kg then gained almost 2 kg sticking to diet. Think my body doesn't know what is happening. Looking forward to next Friday. When surgery is done. Please I need a buddy for support. BMI 38 Height 1,62cm Weight current 96.9 kg Goal weight 60-62kg Your prayers and support is appreciated and this forum have been life saver. God bless and good luck to all the March Sleevers Sunette:)

Hey I am scheduled to have sleeve done on the 22nd. I will be doing the op with my cousin and I am very thankful for all your support

Tomorrow is my 1st appointment with my surgeon. I am soooo nervous, scared you name it that's the feelings I have. Found out from my PHI that they cover the procedure 100% have to pay the gap fee that would be between $3500 - $4200. I am worried that somehow he will not do the procedure. Is this normal??

Yes almost scary to think that in 3 weeks this time I will be done and dusted. Then my new life with a lot of hard work will begin. Thank you for everybody's support, you are great;)

My date is 22 March. Sooo happyyyy!!!! Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you so much for this thread. My prayers for every one having operation in March. My date is 22 March in Perth Australia. Good luck everybody. God Bless.

Hi guys! Appointment went pretty well. Operation date set for 22 March. Yay!!.... Can't wait:)

Hi Aussie how long ago have you seen your surgeon for the 1st time? Good luck with your surgery:)

Yaaaaayyy! Again you are my inspiration at the moment!! Well done:) I will let you know how my appointment go.

It is about the same amount I need to lose

You are doing great!! Wish I was as far as you are now. Good for you sure you are not regretting it!?

Well done that is great!!! Good to hear all these positive comments. We have researched the gastric sleeve and have tried every thing else before this. How much more do you have to lose?

That is great!! Give us hope. How much weight have you lost so far. We are hoping to be done at Waikiki as well. It is so good to chat with somebody that have been through it already.

Hi Gesejimneys thank you for the feedback. How much sooner could you have had the surgery done? I am so desperate and will have it done with my cousin what is a realistic time frame after I have seen him?

Hi I am single to. Nice to see all of you

Hi gesejimneys! Great to somebody else had Chris Couch. I was getting worried. How did your surgery go and how is the recovery? Did it take long after your 1st appointment till operation day and at what hospital where you done? Sorry for all the questions.

It would be cool meeting others going through the same highs and lows

I am going to see mr chris couch south of the river. I am very excited and hope and pray that he can do me by end of march

Hi no I am very very new. Haven't even seen the surgeon yet. Will see him next week. Hopefully I won't have to wait to long for surgery date. Good luck to those that is having your op done in the next few days. I hope it will all go well and I soooo envy you. If your op is scheduled to be in the public sector you might be affected by the nurses striking at the moment. The private hospitals are not striking so all good there. Please keep on telling me/ us how you are going.

Hi Kazza hope everything went well with your surgery

Thank you for replies. Looking for advice and support.

Hi thank you for your reply. You are giving me hope.

Do you know what time frame I would have prepare myself for from first appointment with surgeon to actual operation date? I have private insurance and money saved up to have op done have been waiting a month to see the surgeon and have my appointment 28 feb. is it totally unrealistic to expect to be as soon as end of March ? My doctor work at 3 or 4 different hospitals in Perth. Thank you
