My surgeon was Ray McHenry. I think the nurse I saw for my pre admission was the same. Good luck

4-5kg is great.

My surgery is with Dr Taylor at Concord Hospital. Wishing you all the best for this weekend and your new journey next week. I would be interested to hear about your 1st week post op. All the best.

Thank u... Will try and post something once its all over! :-)

I had my vsg on 19th September, I'm what they refer to as a lightweight lol! I had a great time, no problems what so ever. Lost 15 kg so far but have been in a 3 weeks stall

Just wondering how those who have lost lots of weight, have found the excess skin folds or if you have "shrunk" without needing further surgery to fix the excess...

TOMORROW IS THE DAY! Tomorrow my life will change forever! No more struggling with trying to lose weight only to out it all back on again plus one... Tomorrow my new me will begin!!!! Good luck and best wishes to any other sleevers having their op this week! Love to hear your progress!

TODAY is the day! Just having my cup of tea, banana optifast shake and some water ( to help hydrate my veins) nothing to eat or drink after 7.00am... Sometime after midday I will have my sleeve!!!! Feeling somewhat nervy still but really can't wait until I am on the road to recovery to a new and healthier ME! Weight ( on my scales) pre 2 week Optifast 98.5. Weight this morning after 2 weeks of Optifast 91.5!!!!! Will also weigh in on hosp scales, as mine are a couple kgs different, but they will be my gauge once im home....Sure do hope this is a sign of what's to come!

Good luck and best wishes to anyone else going in today... I'll be at Knox private, so if ur there too, we might meet! (Debbie S)

Had my pre op meds, got the lovely stockings on.. Just waiting for them to come and take me to theatre... Hope it's not too long now!
