Had my surgery at 1:30pm and my surgeon said I did amazing! The lord had is hand on me! I was scared a little bit but the anesthesiologist gave me something to calm my nerves. I had the chills and a lot of back pain due to the gas but I was able to get up and walk around the first hour I was back in my room and go pee without any help lol (TMI) but I can't wait for this journey to a new and healthy lifestyle! Prayers for you upcoming sleevers, you've got this!
Thank you Dr. paya at west hills hospital in Los Angeles ca.

Hi all! I'm new to this. A little about me. I had the LB in 2011 and then removed in 2014. When my S removed LB he prepped the area for the Sleeve. Now I have decided it was time and I've started my journey:) I live in MN but due to my employer and insurance I have to have the procedure in Kansas. So I'm doing all my prep stuff here. I have gone down to meet with Dr. Fearing once already and I have to go down 2 more times. 1 for preop and then 2nd for actual surgery. I just picked up my Vitamins and will start taking them now to allow my body to get use to them. I will write more soon! Any other October Sleevers?

Picture on the left was a couple of hours before surgery. Pic on the right is the day of my 13 week check up. 75 pounds down. Come on everyone !!! We can do this. We have a community supporting and cheering us on .

Yes, I haven't told anyone else. I'm keeping it as a private matter. I'm 109kgs, my highest ever. I start my pre-op appointments in August, surgery date not set yet.

Pre-op in Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺

Yup, I decided to do the same so then after the surgery people won't see me drastically change my habits. I'm trying to avoid making it so obvious that something is up. I don't want to attract questions.

Great to see a recent reply from Perth on this thread!

I'm new too and from Perth and am booked in for the end of October. I'm excited to get this all underway! I had to push my surgery date back, they wanted to schedule me in for early September but that was too quick to get the leave at work booked in, in time. So things move nicely and I'm sure you'll find the same!

I'm already making changes in my lifestyle pre-op like going hiking over the weekend and eating smaller meals (even avoiding dessert at my family's birthday dinner!) [emoji5][emoji5][emoji5]

Hi All,
My partner is the only one that knows I am going through with surgery. I'm happy with this as it's my business and my family can be judgmental and will say this is unnecessary/ extreme when I should just 'lose weight on my own'.
I've been looking on the forums for a while, so I thought I'd make an account as I have questions and things I want to talk about.
I am due to be sleeved in Perth in late October this year. I am currently sitting around the high 90kgs mark and am looking to lose 30kgs.
Anyone else out there like me?
