So excited for you!

It's funny, before my op I wouldn't have thought that, but I am so do happy with my sleeve that I get excited when I hear about someone else getting it done.

LOL I reckon we are all Sleeve Sisters!

Oh by the way, you have nothing to worry about, a little discomfort for a few days, that's it!

Hi mini mee' date='

If you go to the website www.bandbuddies.com.au it lists the comparison with other multi Vitamins. I've just realised though that it's 2 per day.

Hi,

I can't find any info on the tablets at all, I want to see a listing of all the different vitamins/minerals with their amounts. Is it listed on the bottle itself or on a bit of paper in a box or something?

Good luck KelBel, wishing you all the best for today :)

Well, I'm on the eve of my surgery!! I'm scheduled to be operated on at about 2pm tomorrow. The pre op diet has gone great and has me feel so much better than how I was when my diet consisted of a lot of junk food. It's really helped me get into a good head space and I now feel totally prepared and ready for the start of my weightloss journey.

At my heaviest I was 113.8kg. The day that I started opti I was 111.8kg and today I'm 106.0kg! So that's a loss of 5.8 kg!

Bring on tomorrow!!!

Thank you for all the well wishes and good luck for tomorrow Angie. My surgery went well. So far I have had no gas pain or nausea. I slept most of the day yesterday and am very comfortable. The staff at North West Private in Brisbane have been fantastic. Fingers crossed this continues and Angie's experience is just as positive!

Sorry to be MIA lately, I've been reading all the posts but haven't had anything to write. Quick update for those who don't know: start weight 14kg

Surgery 13/8/12

Start size 18 (they were very tight)

Current weight 55.2kg

Current size, as of yesterday, XS or size 6 or 8 depending on what it is. Bought a pair of size 7 jeans from Jeanswest.

My goal was 58kg and to ultimately stay below 60kg for life, I'm having difficulty seeing gains on the scale, even a couple of hundred grams, even though I'm a few kgs under goal. Something I have to work on.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
