Congrats to you both. I'm healed up on the outside now and feeling great. My only problem is I'm over Soup, Protein shakes & Water...lol. I've been having diet jelly and custard as my doctor says its fine. I've lost over 5 kilos in one week so you'll be happy to see that off your scales. Keep up the good work cos it's all worth it. Sleeved 10 days ago.

Hi Ladies. I was so apprehensive and anxious about the pain too. I researched about everything that could go wrong but the benefits outweigh the negatives. At the end of the day I just thought I'm going to extend my life and quality of it if I do it. The chances of you dying are extremely low. My friend lost 90kg in a year and she said there were many rough times at first but looking back she would do it all over again. That inspired me. So I encourage you both and wish you well.

I was sleeved on Friday and I'm 3 days post-op. I flew to the Gold Coast to have my sleeve done and arrived back in Sydney last night. My first 2 days were pretty rough as I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. I couldn't drink the Soup or juice. I just sipped on the Water and sucked on ice. Day 3 I've had all the Soup they gave me and Water. No pain whatsover and wounds are healing fantastic. Definately have lost all apetite which is what I expected.

Why did I go to the Gold Coast to do my surgery? Well the simple reason was my surgeon here in Sydney raised the out-of-pocket fees $1600 in a year. From $4200 to $5800 and after waiting a year for my private health insurance to kick in I was guttered. In the end I found Dr Liew and I only paid $650 out-of-pocket fees. He's an amazing Doctor.
