Oh and I didn't tell a soul except my husband, as far as work was concerned I had a hernia op ????

My BMI was 30, the cutoff for sleeve surgery here in Australia. My surgery was on the 8th September 2014 and is the best thing I have ever done. My recovery was easy and the weight has just come off slowly but surely. My BMI is now 22 and I feel healthy and happy.

I had my surgery in the 8th September last year. My BMI was 32 on the day of surgery. To date I have lost 44 pounds and feel great. There have been some stalls but i feel so much healthier now. I make good food choices most of the time but still enjoy my food ( just not as much of it) .

Hi perk4756, I currently weigh 134 pounds ????

I was a BMI of 30 on my day of surgery last September. I only told two people, hubby, of course and a work colleague. I did have issues with some of the nurses who kept telling me that I shouldn't have surgery as I wasn't fat!! I recovered from surgery really well and have had a slow steady weight loss. I've not had any regrets. Oh my BMI is now a healthy 23.

I'm in Australia and its a little different here. I attended one appointment in September 2014, had a BMI of 30.4 and was booked in for VSG surgery one month later. I did not have any other medical issues of note. I've not had any problems with my recovery and have lost 20 kilograms so far. I now have a BMI of 23.6. I feel extremely lucky especially when I read all of the issues and costs (hoops you have to jump through in America). I wish you all luck with your surgeries wherever you are in the world. x

My BMI was 30 on the day I had surgery on 8th September 2014. My BMI is now 25, I have had no complications after surgery and the loss has been slow and steady. I love my sleeve.

I would love to find out more about both your nutrition plan and training plan. I would love to complete a half marathon before I'm 50 (next July).

Hi guys, this is my first post and I am looking for advice and any information from anyone who can help. I have a BMI of 31 and am booked for sleeve surgery on the 8th of September. I am wondering what sort of weight loss I can expect, will it be slower because I have less weight to lose? I am really nervous about my surgery date but exicited at the same time, I suppose everyone is. I look forward to hearing you all. X

I'm 15 days post op and have just a piece of toast with Vegemite and avocado. I know I shouldn't have...... I can't believe it I've crashed and burned only 15 days out!!

Waiting to head down to surgery So excited and just a little nervous

Hi there, my sleeve is booked for the 8th as well, good luck!

Hi luciana Victoria, I am so excited for you, I wish my surgery was tomorrow, it is booked in fi the 8 th of September. My surgeon feels the same as yours, just because I'm not morbidly obese, it still effects me on a daily basis. Please keep me updated with your progress.

Really worried that I won't feel to good, will I be able to eat at all? Any help is appreciated.

Hi my surgery is booked for the 8 September, good luck September sleevers

I am so excited to read this post, my stats are very similar to yours 'nothing up my sleeve'. My surgery is on the 8 of September and I am so ready to finally stop this roller coaster I have been on. I can not believe that I will lose that sort of weight...

Yeah I'm really looking at this as a second chance, I love cycling and can't wait to get back into it. Please keep in touch, I would love to know your progress.

Hi jdillon, good luck with your surgery, have you been told what weight loss rate to expect after your surgery?
