All the very best! Please let us know how you are in a few days.

Hi all, was banded 3 years ago and loved it, I lost about 55 kilos. I actually had a 'life'. I was able to buy clothes that i actually liked and not anything that i fit into, i felt so healthy, the confidence was great, i loved dressing up in front of my daughters and then hearing them say " oh mum..... you look beautiful", i loved how i learnt how to run and then competed in marathons........ it was all great! until, i began vomiting everyday in January this year for 4 weeks, to the point where I couldn't even keep sips of water down. I became so malnutrition that I was forced to get me band removed because it 'slipped'. After the surgery to remove the band, i was confident so much that i really thought I could keep the weight off, especially because i knew now how to exercise and eat better. BUT unfortunately the weight piled on and have since put on 30 kilos!!! I feel so disgusting, unhealthy, no self esteem ...actually worst than how I felt at 117kilos! So, I decided to be sleeved and my op is scheduled for 2nd July. I can't wait to get me life back to how it was last year. No doubt, I'm scared of any complications, but I pray for a safe and healthy future after July and pray that God guides those doctors/surgeons hands! I look forward to continuing to reading your posts/thoughts/ideas/etc.... And I will do my best to try answer and support you guys as much as I can as. Good luck to you all AND congratulations to all of you who have successfully been sleeved already! You are all so brave! MPI
