Thanks Misty. We pretty much have the same BMI, I am 165cm and am aiming at 58-60kg which gives me a BMI of 22. You will alreay be there by the time I have my surgery in October lol!!

Wow you are looking good misty. About the belly apron my belly looks almost identical to your before photos!! May I ask what your start weight was.....I'm 110kg and think I may need plastic surgery eventually too!

Hey Sue, Thanks for the welcome back. Darling Harbour isn't too far out for me, I work at Randwick. Let me know when you decide a date.

So when is this sydney meet up supposed to be??

Oh puppyphat I had no idea you were having such a hard time Its great news that you recognise that you are struggling and taking steps to improve the situation. ***great big hugs***

Thank you so much I know its going to be hard work but I can't get the smile off my face. The October date will be just over a year since I started this journey!! Thanks Dean! I love your forum level "sleeve master" made me giggle.

Thanks misty! I'm glad to be back, amd excited! !

Hello Sleevers/yet to be Sleeved, Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I'm back and with great news! After a few months of treatment my Barretts oesophagus is gone (actually the surgeon retracted the diagnosis altogether). He has given me the go ahead for the Sleeve!!!!! I'm booked for the 25th October and am going to be on 4 weeks Optifast prior to that YIKES!!! Feels good to be back!

Hey how did it all go!! Glad to see you back. My name is Mim and Im from Sydney, no bypass yet I'm hoping to get a date tomorrow.

Getting a date will make it real your are not wrong there! It will probably make me super nervous two, I'm already having the "what would my kids do without a mum" thoughts Your goal sounds excellent for your height. I'm aiming for 60kg as I'm 165cm it will put my BMI at around 23 smack in the middle of healthy.

Thats great. I hope I recover that well, everyone does say it gets better with time, has the surgeon given you a goal? I have my appointment this Friday so I'm hoping to book at date at least, I've been back and forth since October 2012.

We may be GBP buddies lol! My follow up is this Thursday and I can't have surgery until november as well due to work commitments.

Silklily are you still around? Your story really touched me......I hope it all works out for you!

I'm a veteran of every diet fad as well! Lightest weight has been about 61kg but that was near starvation diet! After getting married and the kids I'm back at square one and a bit more lol! I need this, I can't keep yoyoing forever its exhausting. ...... How did you feel after surgery? Was the recovery difficult?
