I like what your going for there! Mine is the opposite, but same same! Im doing it for vanity, but im excited about the health stuff that will go along with it! Great work so far!

100% Vanity - which will lead to the emotional etc On paper im the perfect bill of health, lower then normal cholestorol, great everything else. I did a health test at work a few weeks ago, and was rated above average for all fitness, flexibility & health related tests. I was actully really cranky about it! I also live in Australias most active city... so go figure I just want to look good, which will make me feel good

Thanks guys! Im kind of excited because I really love protein shakes anyway, and already have them for breakfast most days! yay! Jazzie -thats such a low weight to start on - im surprised they let you do it! Awesome that they did thou! Must. fight. food. funeral.

Thanks AussieGirl - really appreciate it! Def not the easy way out! I think that might be the way I go too - just telling if they ask. Part of me not wanting to keep it a secret is if there is someone like me, wanting to know why im dropping weight so fast etc and I say diet and excercise, they would be shattered when they dont get the results I do

Hey guys! Been following this forum for a few weeks now, its what turned me into wanting the sleeve over the band! I'm booked in for 13th of June, pending super approval (aussie system, borrow from retirement fund). Just have a few quick questions Does anyone have any regrets about doing it? Is there a different way you would have done it? Im 26, 100kg, BMI of 34 - the minimum BMI here is 35 with dodgy blood pressure, cholestorol etc - so im scraping in with no major health problems - but, I still managed to get the OK from the doc after mentioning that it was riduculous to send me home to put on weight to prove a point (yayyyy!) I'm concerned that this next 2 months will be an its ok to put on weight, but not ok to loose weight time - dont want that, but at the same time its unavoidable and ive never had the 'its ok to put on weight thing' before! I could just try to stay the weight I am, but im a yoyo person! I've started telling a few close friends about what I plan to do, and most are wonderful, but some have been very 'thats cheating' - I dont see that it is, not like I get to sit on my bum and eat doughnuts after i've had it done, I still have to work at it. Anyway, does anyone regret telling people? I want to tell because im really excited! But at the same time the cheating status isnt fun! Any info would be great! Really appreciate it
