I'm in Perth. Had my surgery done on 5 Feb by Dr Stephen Watson. I had one week of Optifast, and am now 9 days post surgery. All up I've lost 9kgs already - can't believe how quickly it's coming off. Not that I'm complaining!
My husband had a sleeve done two years ago, and he has lost 100kgs - 100% of his excess weight. I've been inspired by his journey and decided this year it was my turn. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and it was time to do something. All the diets in the world weren't working, so I finally realised I had to do something permanent. So glad I've done it and now that the pain has eased, I'm enjoying listening to my new stomach and learning when to stop. :-)
