Thanks everyone!!! So my op was on Thursday and I was released from hospital on Saturday afternoon, to be honest it isn't as painfully as you would expect just uncomfortable. I was struggling with getting all my protein in at first but it gets better everyday My mum is coming over tonight to make me a soup with her new thermomix, yummm!!

How exciting, Im also tomorrow and it's weird I'm not nervous or scared at all!!! I can see my goal and I'm just so excited. Where do you live?

Hi Sandy, I'm getting sleeved on the 17th of October but my best friend has the band and has a lot of complications with it: vomiting after ever meal, she has to stand up while eating so the food doesn't get stuck (it's pretty funny having dinner out with her doing laps around the restaurant), chocking at night and so on... That helped me make my decision along with my DR'S advice - most of the people he gave the lap band are now coming back and getting sleeved. I hope this helped good luck!

Hi missy moo, I'm from Perth getting sleeved on the 17th of Oct!!

Good luck sasechick

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support...this forum is great!!! I know that deep down this is the right thing for me and its only normal to stress. You hear of all of these horror stories with leaks and ending up in hospital for 3 months and it makes you wonder omg will that happen to me!?!?! I know the risks are small but still very real, but I'm excited for my new, healthier life.

I'm October 17th too !!!! I'm nervous, scared.. But mostly I'm excited. Good luck

Thank you to everyone that replied, your suggestions, thoughts and encouragement is truly appreciated!! I know deep down this is right right decision and this forum is such a great way to connect with people going through the same journey.
