Hi Lori I live in the UK, following some direct talking from my Dr. I decided to self pay and I made my decision to have the sleeve on 10 August following meeting the surgeon, had a two week holiday then went on my pre-op diet and into theatre 13 September. I had and still have full support from my surgical team. Ollie

Stay positive and respect the process and you will enjoy a long life.... go grab it!!!!!

It's been 8 months since I decided to have the sleeve done and 7 months since surgery. It's the the best thing I could ever have done. I have my life back! I've added my B4 and images taken yesterday. If your on the journey or feel you want to get on it.... I can't begin to tell you how it will change your life IF you embrace it!

Hi 13th (or near as damn it) sleevers. How is everyone doing? Nearly 10 weeks out I'm loving life. Lost 60lbs, now eating normal food, still rial and error on portion on different foods. all old clothes gone, can fasten an airline seatbelt and I am mentally fit. Been for my surgeon check up and all good, I'm now off all Meds bar my Multivitamin and my 3 monthly b12 injection. Will start to ramp up the exercise now I'm still surprised how the UK and US differ in opinion on post op Protein liquids. Other than week one I did not have any. So all gone to plan and loving the decision that I made. Friend and family have been mega supportive. Below is my pre op and post 9 week shot.

Approaching 10 weeks out from VSG. It's been the best decision I've made. I feel mentally and physically fitter. I've experienced NSV such as cloths, airline seat belts and comments[emoji6] I'm eating fine and living life! I'm about 40% of the way losing 60lbs. The piccy is before surgery and 9 weeks

Well done DeeM. Fantastic work!

So today has seen two landmarks. 1. It's 50 days since I started my 2 week pre-op and 5 weeks since the sleeve 2. Today I have lost 50lbs That's 50 in 50! I'm made up This process has changed my life already. For those pondering... As long as you can be strong and follow instruction it will be great. Yes individual results will vary. But for me it's been a fantastic experience.....so far! Positive attitude will lead to success!
