Yay guys, we don't have much longer to go now... Liquid diet has commenced and now on the downward slide... I'm so excited for all of us, here's to a healthier skinnier life to us all... Love Lily xx

I'd kick that low life scum bag to the kerb ! You deserve soooooo much better. Xxxxxx

oh you poor darling.. I haven't been sleeved yet (another 6 weeks ) but when I had my lapband done I got shoulder tip pain.. Worst pain ever.. I would have rather have given birth to my 6 children again rather than go through that. I really feel for you. I definately agree with Butterfly66, walk walk walk and drink plenty of water. Also hot pack, I walked around constantly with my hot pack. I have to admit mine lasted for about two weeks, it would come and go though, it does get better .. Hang in there and think of all the reasons why you got the sleeve.. I hope that you feel much better soon. Take care Janette xo

Hi Brendan, I understand what you say about the permanent nature of the sleeve. That also played with my head before making the decision to go ahead with it. When I had my lap band I spoke to quite a few people who had the sleeve and lapband. I actually wanted the sleeve to begin with however was talked out of it as my bmi at that stage was not high enough. When my lap band was taken out I was advised by the surgeon that it had been placed in there incorrectly, I had it in there for a year which has caused some issues. So many surgeons are no longer doing lap band surgery because of complications.I also felt oh I should be able to do it myself, i mean seriously, its only losing weight, not brain surgery....but after years of yo yo dieting, know this to be not true... I can't do it myself... I need the tool to help me do it... I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and I'm sick and tired of fighting with my head on a daily basis and I'm sick of tired of always having to think about what diet plan I'm going to try next..... I have done so much research and spoken to so many people and know that I am making the right decision for me I read about a lady who has a sleeve and she said that the sleeve is just a little tool to remind you to eat less, it's not a diet that you can go off... I can eat whatever I want , I never have to worry about diets, a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders and when i read that i felt wow that's how I want to feel. I'd probably suggest that you ring where you went to see the surgeon and ask of you can speak to some of there patients, as to support groups I don't know of any on the GC, yeah speaking to a guy would be really good as you guys are a lot more logical then us emotional women ha ha.. Anyway I really wish you the very very best of luck and whatever decision you make will be the right one for you... Just follow your heart. We should keep in contact so that I can tell you how my surgery goes and I can tell you about my progress.. Take care, Lily

Wow, that sounds strange.. I can't help you with that question! I don't even get sleeved till July.. Just wanted to say hope that it sorts itself out soon. Must be annoying. Take care x

Hi Shari, thanks so much for posting. I totally understand when you say July can't come fast enough. I can't seem to concentrate on anything else but this surgery at the moment, so excited, there seems like there is finally some light at the end of a very dark long tunnel.. Shari what date is your surgery in July ? Lily

Thanks so much for letting me know. I'll look for it now

Yay how exciting Jessica, we'll be sleeved around the same time frame.. We'll be on our journey to skinny ness together ha ha..... I'm sure that somewhere underneath all this fat there's a size 12 body hiding somewhere.... Deep deep down !!! Hey let me know when you have your exact date so we can stay in contact and support each other. I'm thinking about starting a Facebook page for us June, July, August sleevers as well.. Lily xo

Hi Shari, pretty exciting hey ! The time will fly, can't wait to hear how things go for you. Lily

Hi thanks for replying. You'll have to keep us informed. The waiting is so hard!! I'm also in nursing school, however I'm having the sleeve done in our two week break. Hoping that i wont need to have much more time off then that What area do you live at? I'm from Gold Coast Australia. Lily
