Hi
I am 44 years old living in Sydney, Australia. I have been overweight most of my life, with the usual yoyo dieting, coming close to goal weight once or twice.
My BMI was 37.7 when I went to see a Bariatric surgeon. I have back problems and these will get worse with my excess weight, hence my GP recommended Gastric Sleeve surgery.
I am down to 36 BMI since starting the pre-op liquid diet. I started a few days before the 2 weeks, with surgery scheduled for 8 Jan 2014!! No Christmas or New Year feasts this year!!
Thanks for a great forum.
