I'm having this one done at the Wesley, but I have had a knee surgery, a hysterectomy, a colonoscopy, and an endoscopy at Greenslopes. It is a wonderful hospital. You have nothing to worry about with regard to the hospital.

I feel the same way as you and mistysj seem to.Excited and apprehensive.The sleeve promises to liberate us from this endless struggle over our weight.The idea that I won't have to do yet another failed diet (I find it difficult not to internalise this as my own personal failure) *is* exciting.As much as I love food, I also loathe the unhealthy way that it dominates my life.Surgery is a big risk.Being fat is a big risk and is doing me physical and emotional damage.We are choosing to take back control so ask as many questions as you can.Good luck on Wed!

You have hit the nail on the head! I'm just over trying different diets over and over. I really do see this as a tool that will stop the cycle. I've got a list of questions to ask and my husband is coming with me. I just can't wait. Thanks so much

Bec and Misty, it is pretty normal to feel some level of anxiety about the procedure, as well as relief and excitement. I remember the day of the surgery like it was yesterday, I was so calm the weeks leading up to it, prepared for every eventuality or so I thought. The day of the surgery I freaked out...but it all turned out for the best, and now looking back I wonder what I was so scared of.

Just trust you have done your research and have made the best decision for you :)

I was good with everything in pre op but just as my parents were saying goodbye, I shed some tears. More for fear I guess. After that I was fine.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
