Hi all. I'm very excited. I have just got home from seeing my surgeon. He has given me a date : 14 September 2017. I am getting the sleeve done. He said I should expect to lose 33kg or so. Said I shouldnt find it too difficult. And as my start weight isn't too high and if I can keep it at this weight I will only have to do one week of pre op diet. I'm so happy that I finally have a direction set. I feel like I will be able to get my life together and sorted. I will finally be able to resume my life that's been on hold for a few years now. Due to chronic pain, I've given up my love of bush walking... And weight just kept stacking on. I can't wait to not be in so much pain anymore. I'm mostly excited to live a long and full life with my husband and son. So, a new day is coming... I can't wait. Thank you all for your support and love. I adore this forum. Xxx loz.

That website goes up to 8xl in some dresses... Take a look around xxx good luck xxx Good luck hun with your journey. And ur doing great! In Australia, we have free health care however in NSW there are only 14 spots in the whole state for wls in the public system. So for those who can afford private health insurance we have to wait 12 months before we can claim the surgury. So my Dr has booked my surgery in the day after my phi clocks over. It's anoying but, hey its what we have to do. If u have the cash you can pay the whole thing out in one go but your looking at 18k + ... All the crazy systems to make it work.

I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery. I hope you are able to get your January date! Thanks xxx that's exactly what I am doing... Going through the motions and making sure I'm really set up to succeed.
