I feel the same, met plenty that knows someone that knows someone ect... but never met anyone personally, so your welcome to come and meet me and then we can help and mentor each other, I am on face book under my name if you wish to add me, if you have Face book of course.

I found Dr Dolan funny and charming also, and he told me I could have my band re-done but he added he could tell I was not happy with it and gave me all the info on the sleeve, which I had already research any way. I feel it would be the best for me, I had the band (not done by him) for 2 years and had a few problems with it.. so was not going back there.. :)

I was sleeved by Dr Dolan 2 weeks ago at Glengarry. He is an awesome doctor & very good at what he does. He is the only Doctor I know that staples your sleeve but sews over as well to prevent leaks. he did an amazing job on me, my incisions are healing very nicely & In a few months wont be able to be seen - he is very neat. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!! I am happy to answer an questions anyone has but you will not be disappointed by Dr Dolan ... he has changed my life! :)

Weight_no_longer and Julez, how are things going? Had some excitement with Glengarry Hospital today. They couldn't find my forms. Turns out they file them by date and had them in Oct still. Everything is sorted and I am due there for 6.30am on Friday. A long drive to the north but hubby is driving so I can silently sit and freak out. Turns out I have to pay $100 excess that HBF didn't indicate but that is okay, a small price to pay.

Hope you are both doing great!

hi JLS Ive been doing ok except feel a bit crap over the last couple days, I think maybe have a flu coming on but going to see my Doc tomorrow just to be sure. Im glad everything got sorted at the hospital for you. I had to pay $500 out of pocket when i got to the hospital which was a bit of a shock but Im glad Ive had the op so its all worth it. I have no appetite anymore, sometimes I feel like I want something but then cant eat it so the weight is definitely coming off. Best wishes to you for the surgery, you are in good hands & before you know it you will be a loser also lol. Please update us when you feel up to it. Id love to hear how it all goes for you :)

Sorry I only just got your message, I hope all went well this morning.. Love to hear how you are. I Paid my $500 for my medibank hospital when I had my band out and as it is in the same calender year I don't have to pay any more monies except for Dr Dolan's out of pocket expenses. :)

Hi all, it's great to hear so many happy people about Dr Dolan, I get sleeved on 11th dec and getting really nervous, I don't dee the nutritionist until 4 days prior. Did anyone question having optislim instead of Optifast at all? So glad I have Dr Dolan

I used optislim instead of Optifast. I was not told which one to use. I just brought the optislim as it was cheaper. Good luck on your journey.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
