I had my sleeve on 16 th and i am doing really well! The insitions are healing beautifully and i had already see some more definition on my cheeks! As for weightloss, i will only weigh once a week. Last week's weigh in said i was down 2 kg since surgery - which is an awesome find, as i don't feel like i am on a diet! I have also been able to button up some cargo pants that i couldn't do pre-op and to me that is what matters! I' ll be waiting for my clothes to tell me i've lost weight, not my scales!

Hi BusyB,

Sounds like your going great, and getting into your clothes more comfortably is a great way to feel the difference in your weight or size, sounds like your going great.

Best wishes

Hi JulezitBandToSleeve and foxdownunder,

I'm being sleeved by Kevin Dolan as well, though not until the end of October. All the best for you guys this month. I'll just go over to the corner now and wait not-so-patiently for October to come around (kidding).

Ohh I felt the same way back in August when I was originally was going to be sleeved, but the time is going so it is happening this month, I am getting very excited now as only 20 days to go. Your welcome to come see me after the operation in Glengarry if you feel up to it, The date of the Operation is the 25th September, my name is Juliana Zito. I would be happy to meet someone else who is having the same operation, we could help each other with support and motivation.

Would love to meet someone else also doing this. I found that everyone "knows someone" who has had it done but I haven't met an actual sleever (that I know of). I haven't told many people but the lady at HBF that I got my quote from said her brother had it. Then the lady who took my bloods (all 9 vials, we were there for a while, my veins weren't cooperating) had a relative who was sleeved. The blood lady said Dr Dolan goes overboard with blood tests. I said better it be too many than not enough.

I originally went to Dr Dolan to see about a band but between my referral and actual appointment I looked into all the options and decided on the sleeve. Dr Dolan gave me the low down on both but I had made my mind up. It was funny because every study or article I referred to he knew of and often knew the author personally. It was a long and quirky appointment. He was great though. I was told he could be stand off'ish and arrogant but I found him very charming and funny.
