@@nerms yes I am so scared of them saying no because I am to small but the struggle is the same and I still don't live my life to the full at this weight at this weight I feel like I am 120kgs plus to me I am massive I am just not use to this weight I guess! I started out at 83 to 85 when I was thinking about it last jan so I up the PHI but I Sarum tried a few diets early in the year but all failed and ended up at 87lgs! So gave up bad decide to eat more to gain more so I can get this surgery!! My plan was to get the surgery booked in and then get back down to 85kg before surgery but then I worry will the surgeon say oh you don't need it after all?? I just want this over I want out of my fat clothes I have nothing to wear!!!! And feel so crap!

Wow @ nerms 85kg is great. Thanks for the info on that other forum I have already been all over it last night and again today lots to read! Love it! @@LeeAnne yes Hun so true I did answer my own question sleeve feels right for me I am not huge (95kgs right now) been eating up a storm to weigh more for my appts (wrong I know) but I want this surgery bad as I can never maintain any loss long term so I know this tool will help me maintain for the long term! It's been a busy day I had all the places call me for my next appts so got my Nut appt 16th October Psych appt 20th Dr Jason galanos and bloods 21st oct it's going to be a busy and expensive month! Then back to Simon for a surgery date I hope!

Thanks chez I think choosing the surgery is a no brainer for me I only think the sleeve is the way to go I am scared of a band seen to many of my friends have trouble with bands and the bypass seems very scary to me! Wow chez that's so much hair is your hair super thick? I so hope your right leeanne I have such thin hair as it is I don't want to lose more or any if I can help it lol Are you ok chez no issues with the sleeve I hope? You still recommend Simon? I have my nut appt on October 20th I asked about possible surgery dates she confirmed December early Jan so I am super happy with the time frame. Leanne sorry Hun I don't think your a freak doing readings is a wonderful talent I would love a reading sometime!!! How are you doing with your sleeve? Darwin girl where are you would love to hear how you went as well How is everyone else doing?? It's been very quiet in here Hope everyone is having a lovely day Melbourne weather is improving finally!! X

Thanks chez just working out the budget so I am prepared It went well he explained all 3 ops that he offers he didn't say anything about my low BMI and said his secretary will call me to make the other appts! Then after those appts I meet with him again to see if I am a candidate so I am nervous now!

I have my appt tomorrow with the WLS doctor very nervous and excited at the same time!!

Hey chez your $5000 out of pockets did that include your hospital excess as well?

good luck Hun will be hoping for you! X

Yeah scared of the hair loss but I want to be skinny so bad I would risk everything for it! I will just cut my hair short if I have to! Have you been taking anything for the hair loss pre/post surgery? 30kgs is fantastic hun how long has it been? Have you been exercising! I want to lose 30kgs!

Thanks chez for letting me know some of the US ladies were saying they had regret at the start but it passes! It's starting to feel a little real now to me that I might have this surgery!!! I guess I will know soon I hope everyone else is doing really well xxx

Hi I have a question it's one that I read on the main boards the US peeps were talking about it! Does anyone regret having the op? Did this feeling pass?

Hi stevelee Wow you have lost heaps as well!!! I am a bit excited now as I am starting to think about my wait in weeks now my appt is 30th September just can't wait to have a date now!!!

How did it go Darwin girl? Was thinking of you all day :-)

Good luck Darwin girl hope it goes really well keep me posted!! Excited for you! Yep GP referral I was worried she wouldn't give me one but we had been talking about it for the last 12months because I have waited (not my choice) she was like no worries she didn't even weigh me!

I got my referral so just have to wait for September 30th feeling excited

So I am over the 35 just crossing my fingers now! From what I read hun this will change your life!

Oh yes I agree it's a love affair with food and agree we need to end this affair and I am ok about never eating this way again I know it's for the best! I was always skinny as a child 73kgs was fat for me, after getting married had 2 kids and have never been able to keep the weight off it's been a 20 year struggle for me I am 40 now so want to enjoy what I have left before I am just an old hag lol My daughter is 8 and always says I wish you were skinny mum! It's my fault she says that because I am always complaining I am fat outloud

Hi Darwinlady I just read your height in this one you are taller than me I am only 162cm so that should push up my Bmi How exciting for you to travel down from Darwin where are you in Darwin? I use to live in Darwin in my 20's I lived in waggaman and nightcliff love the heat! Lol

. Thanks Hun will keep you posted x

How tall are you darwinlady? I am 5'4 so hoping my BMI will be high enough for them to do surgery ok you have given me hope

Ok Hun yes so true me I am currently only 92kgs So not huge but am in need of help before it's out of control as I can't lose a thing on my own anymore I use to be able to do it I guess I am sick of the yo yo diet struggles I need a tool to help me! been up and down for over 20 years I am tired!!!

Me again Thanks chez I now have an appt with him Booked for September 30th in moonee ponds!!! Yay! Off to the doctors next for my referral next!!! I hope I meet his criteria for surgery!! Did he focus heaps on bmi? Mine is about 35 36ish!!
