OMG!!! Wow!! Congrats looking great!

Yep I start on Monday!! But am lucky to be able to have a meal for dinner too

Natalie, it's great just to talk about this with people who are going through the same. We can all help each other

I also have PCOS. I'm being sleeved on 3rd June. I'm hoping with the weight loss I'll be able to fall pregnant! We'll all have to let each other know how we go with it all

Hi everyone, my name is Bec and I'm from Brisbane Australia!!! My story is I have been married for just 3 years and I have the most wnderful husband. also have PCOS and have not been able to fall pregnant. I've been big all my life and I've tried everything and yeah some diets work for a while then I just put it all back on with a lot extra So I was told that the sleeve would be great for me. So after 2 weeks of googling my husband and I thought it's the way to go. So no more yo yo diets So I'm getting sleeved on 3rd June!!!!! So excited. My weight as at Saturday was 140kg (308lb) and my BMI is 52 which is just about at my heavist I've been. My goal is 50kg (110lb) in 12 months that will bring me to 90kg (198lb) but my dr said I'd be losing way more. He reckons I'll get to 65-70kg (143-154lb) but I'm happy with my own goal. So after I lose this weight we're hoping to getting pregnant and becoming a mum at long last!!!! Also I just want to be comfortable in my body and to be able to do anything I want. The biggest thing is to buy clothes at normal size shops!!!! Anyway I look forward to chatting to everyone and sharing our journeys with each other and supporting each other too. Cheers Bec

Your so right lessismore!!! My doctor has me on a 4 week post-op but my dietician has me on 6-8 week post-op lol. I'll just have to see how I go. Well done Michele great job!!!

Good luck tomorrow Misty!!! Can't wait to hear how you go with everything!!!!!!

Oh u poor bugger!!! If u need a chat just let me know!!! Just really try and stick it out, as u said it's very important. Also it's to rid the liver of fat on the outside as they need to move it and if it's a "fatty liver" it will be very slippery. I'm nervous and excited too! I just want it done so that I can get on with my life and start eating normal again lol

Hi everyone, I'm all booked in for 3rd June!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I live in Australia in Brisbane. I had my appointment with my dieticion this morning so I'm all good to go for the 2 week pre-op diet. Good luck everyone and it'll be great to talk to each other through this change in our lives!!!! Cheers Bec

That's great Tash! It's also my nana's birthday too!! The time will fly by till u see ur surgeon. I'm starting to get worried as everyone has said they saw a phyic but I was not told to see anyone. I think I might be just reading into it too much. I know my head is in the right place though.

Hi all!! I'm getting sleeved June 3rd!!! So can't wait!!!

Congrats Jimbo!!! Great to hear ur doing very well!

Sorry for ur loss Kelli! Life is sometimes cut way too short! Well I have got all my appointments booked. Also I got everything from the chemist that I'll need for after the surgery. I think I'm organised as much as possible. I just have to start cooking chic and veg Soup and some other thing as well and freeze them.

OMG OMG!!!! 3rd June is my op date!!! So excited and nervous at the same time! Dr Daoud is great

That's right lol. I forgot that!! Cool. I was wondering what it was like. But thanks for that

I just feel kinda silly being excited about getting the sleeve. I told my GP on friday and she is over the moon for me too. I'll let u all know how I go. Misty, ur going to Greenslopes aren't u? That's where I will be too. U'll havd to let me know what the hospital is like

Well I have my appointment with Dr Mark Daoud this Wednesday!! Is it strange that I'm excited!!! Anyway I've started my list of questions. But if anyone has any that they think I should ask please let me know incase it's not on my list that would be great!! Cheers
