Good luck for tomorrow, you will be fine, think positive and just think about the new you you will meet after.

Hi Everyone. My sister and I are getting sleeved together next week. Nerves are starting to set in. Any advice for someone less than a week pre-op??

Hi vonnie, that's great you and your sister are on this journey together. I would love my sister to take the step and join me on this whole new lifestyle. Best of luck to you both :)

BEST OF LUCK FOR TOMORROW. my thoughts will be with you. I am 5 weeks out tomorrow and am really happy with my progress and decision to do this, just wish I did it earlier. I did mine alone as my husband and 4 kids were overseas for two weeks but it worked well. Thank god for 19 year old sons hey :). You will be fine and time will fly by.

Shelley xx

Thanks Shellz.

It's been great having someone there who is experiencing the exact same thing every step of the way. I don't think either of us would have made it this far alone. My sisters mean the world to me (I have 3 older sisters) and i'd do anything for them.

I am excited about the whole thing... But still very nervous.

This forum has been great. A big thank you to everyone for your insights and encouragement.

Best of luck for tomorrow! The sooner it's done the sooner you'll be losing weight and living your new life! I'm super jealous - I still have two weeks to wait :(

Let us know how you go! :)

These look so cool. Might have to order myself one as well

Hi Shelley, you've changed your photo and wow you look amazing! Looking forward to meeting you and Cookeeeez on Saturday inthe City. Cheers kelli
