Hello, I'm new to this forum as well, just joined today. My story is similar as I was banded 9 years ago and lost 45kgs, had to have band replaced after the first two years then over a period of time I have regained 25kgs. I decided that I couldn't go on like this as I couldn't afford to put on all the weight I had lost and more so I made an appoint with my Professor and we decided that the sleeve would be a better option for me as I'am morbidly obese. I did the pre-op Optifast for 3 weeks and lost 15kgs, very pleased with myself. So on the 22nd April 2016, I was operated on for the Sleeve, very excited, I awoke from the surgery to find they didn't go ahead as they found a tumor in my esophagus and removed it, thankfully it was benign and thank god they found it when they did, was meant to be. So now I'm book in again for the Sleeve on the 4thJuly. I was o keen and excited the first time but very nervous now but I know it has to be as I can't go on like this...So with me luck everyone. I have never joined a forum before this is a first for me and I feel very much at ease sharing my story here, sorry its so long.
