mmmmm as a nearly almost decided to go ahead with the sleeve it is interesting reading the above and wondering what the 'issues' you are experiencing with the sleeve. happy to know all good and not so good information if you are willing to write about these.

sorry for misunderstanding.........64 years old!! as i previously stated hopping to lose 25-30kilos. will be making an appt on monday as i saw him about 6 weeks ago but had to have an endoscopy etc now done that and report being sent to Watson. seen the Dietician. i don't hurry into things here as just needed to be sure it is right for me and that i can manage ok with current meds etc. i know it will be tough at first but just have to trust i will adjust and cope. my GP has had the sleeve too and he really had very few probs. i also hope to be able to have a glass of red wine not tooooo long after surgery! my gp says he has not been able to eat steak. do you know many people who have had the sleeve?

My doc will be Watson who operates at Hollywood and Murdoch. From what i have found out (only by my investigating i might add) i can get some of my tabs 'converted' to a suspension by a Compounding Pharmacy in Osborne Park. It is apparently not right to crush certain meds as it alters them and you can't split tabs that are not 'scored'. how much weight to do hope to lose? me around 25-30kilos. i am a couple of weeks away from 64 .....sounds old to you no doubt!

Meant to say i too live in Perth WA. Is this mostly a US site do you know?

Hi krystal84, i am at the stage of making another appt with the specialist with a view to having gastric sleeve done early july. scary. one of my concerns is how to continue taking current med in the immediate after op. who is doing yours? Jan
