Hi Clive! Welcome to the Forums. You're in the right place, and will learn a lot here.

I know it's mostly women who post here, but there are a number of guys who post, too. I haven't yet had my surgery, but hope to do so within the next few months. Keep reading the forums, and check profiles on the men who post here. A lot have links to other sites with more about their stories.

Good luck!

Dave

Welcome Clive,

Congrats on starting the journey. Keep us posted and feel free to lay out the questions that might be on your mind.

Hi Clive,

I am a woman having this surgery, but my husband is also having it too. (Although I'm first <Oct. hopefully> and my nutritionist joked about me being the guinea pig lol.) His surgery will hopefully be in Dec. I have my doubts that I could get him to join a message board though. Maybe if I tell him about the guys here needing to support each other.

Best of luck to you!

Well I have made the decision to see the Surgen about getting Sleeving.

There are a few of us guys around. I had my sleeve done almost a month ago. Love it. I can see the lbs coming off, and clothes are fitting <much> better.

This week I got my first 2 "outsider" compliments! It was exciting. My wife complements me all the time, but she knows what to be looking for. :thumbup:

Good luck!

Just an update i have and appointment on the 18th for there GP and 30th for the Surgeon.

A bit nervous.

Welcome Clive! You've found a great source of information and support here. Congrats on taking the first steps toward a new life, you won't regret it!

Welcome to the board. My husband went through the surgery at the same time I did. (same day in fact) he doesn't post on the forum but, I wanted you to know there are a lot of guys out there that do this surgery too. : )

Went and had the pre surgeon chat (could not believe it but had butterflies).

Feel better about everything now. probably looking at a late january early February surgery.

Congrats on getting things going and glad you are feeling better about the sleeve. As I said I was first to go under the knife and my huband will have his sleeve in late Dec. (hoping for that anyway!) and just the other day he said "I can't wait to have my sleeve"...so I think after he has seen me go through the whole process, he is ready to have his too and join the losers bench!

I now have a date, the 24 January 11

Still nervous

Congrats on your date! The nervous stuff...pretty normal, but still not fun.
