Hi there, I've just made my appointments with the psychologist, dietician and physician to get my checks done before I meet with the surgeon in April. I'm nervous about things now, more nervous they will find something wrong and I can't get the surgery. Probably worrying over nothing. Does anyone have some any advice or kind words?

Thanks k8ee and Susan for your prompt and honest responses. It's good to see what people have experienced. Must admit I'm a bit scared as I've never had surgery before but I'm excited of the possibilities and success rates this procedure has. I'm just at my wits end really re:weightloss. Like a lot of people on here I've gone up and down so many times I want something to assist me long term. Oh and Susan of course you are welcome! Hehe I'm thinking January for the operation depending on my surgeon etc also Need to get the $$$ together first. Thanks again ladies! Feeling nervous and excited!

Hi there. I'm a Melbournian too! I haven't had the sleeve but just had my first appointment with the surgeon. His name is Simon Banting. My next step is seeing a dietician and psychologist. I'm currently 154kgs. Just a couple of questions if anyone can help out. 1. What made you choose the sleeve? 2. What's been the hardest thing about living with the sleeve? I'm still making my mind up, I'm 90% sure the sleeve is the way to go. Any help would be great!
