A journey thats started but hasnt

[Guest eringirl]

well hello out there Sleevers or potential sleevers

thats who and what I am a potential sleever.

In a week I see the exercise physiologist, have an ultrasound, a chest xray, and visit the Dietitician.

its not till the end of August do i get to see the Surgeon.

What i find amazing is that in the beginning of the year I hadnt even contemplated weight shed surgery. I had done the hard yards, the diet and exercise and shed a significant amount and then found i had lost control i guess and the weight did start to come a creeping back on. 1 kilo this week, then 2 the next week and before i knew it i had placed back 25 kilos of the 55 kilos i had shed. frustrated with thinking that was going to be what my life was going to be about the rest of it, always thinking about food one way or another, i found myself at a medical weightloss specialist. i walked in somewhat apprehensive and then in a way also felt relieved to hear that for some people their own bodies physiology can be their own worst enemy and that for some of these folk surgery is a good viable way to go.

my mouth dropped a little bit and i had the initial internal feeling of okay im a failure. i am looking to medical intervention but upon further reflection i thought no not a failure but definitely a fighter and maybe even somebody with courage. so there it was my mind flipped to the idea of surgery and then the Doctor mentioned that sleeving maybe the preferred method.

so whilst i was there in the chair listening to this Doctor talk about this sleeve method internally i was heading for the hills of the Antartic. But after a day or two of shock and then starting to research and finding places like this i found myself going back to this Doctor and saying im keen to hear more and so there it is.

thats a little of my story thus far

i wish you all well
