Hi All, I am another newbie sleeved 6 days ago on September 21st. I only found the site yesterday and it looks like a great place to share experiences, get advice, support and encouragement. I must say it has been a really positive post surgery experience for me so far....hope it continues. :mad:

welcome! Hope you'll post often and keep us updated on your journey.

Congratulations Nikski. I was sleeved on Sept. 15. Welcome to the family! Please keep us posted.

Welcome and please keep us updated on your new journey.

Welcome and yes, you've come to the right place. . . how do you feel? Was your surgery pretty successful? I haven't been sleeved yet, not until January, but am trying to "learn" all that I can. . . keep on posting and let us know how you are progressing. . . congratulations again. . .

Thank you, as you said another brissy girl, good to see! You are doing incredibly well with your weightloss congrats!

Hi Nikski, another Qlder here. Congrats on making the step to a new life and a new you! I've only just started looking into the Gastric Sleeve, but for some reason feel more positive about it then the Band.

If you don't mind me asking, who was your surgeon? And what were your out of pocket expenses?

Any thoughts, advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer not to answer that's ok too. I'm very new to all this (forums, gastric sleeve etc..), so am hoping I haven't broken any "rules" by asking this in your thread. Apologies if I have.

Thanks and congratulations again! I'm actually in awe of all of you.

Welcome to the site! I was also sleeved Sept 21st- we can make this journey together.

Hi Dory

Would love to fill you in on all the related details of my surgery....surgeon, cost etc. If you send me a message to my email with your email I would be happy to put all the details in it. My surgeon may not appreciate me advertising his fees etc openly.

Fully understand. Email sent! Thanks again Nikski.

I'm really looking forward to reading more about everyone's journey.

And thank-you for the warm welcome.
