Hi samperth. I've lost 13kgs and wes sleeved 20th may. It's a bit slower than I thought, but I'm happy. When were you sleeved?

Hi I was sleeved on 9th of December last year. The best thing I've every done for myself and my family

Don't worry it will slowly come off

I am in Canning Vale Perth getting sleeved August 18 so just over 1 week away getting pretty nervous about it.

You'll be fine, just give your self lots of time to rest after and use this time to shop for your liquid diet stock up now so you don't need to shop after

Hello, im getting sleeved on the 8th of October, currently doing the optifast for 10 day's! 2nd day in and im struggling to have the 3 shakes! Would have 2 shakes then salad for dinner. Will this effect the surgery? Im located in Wellard, age 21. Loved reading through all the comments, makes it that little bit easier and no longer nervous for the op!!

I shouldn't think so... But I'd just do e best you can and the rest will sort itself out. I heard the need for that depends on te surgeon and your pre-surgery weight. First doctor I saw when I was considering the band insisted on the 2 week optifast first, but the doctor who ended up doing my sleeve didn't need me to do that diet... So I don't think it makes a big difference unless you have a larger than normal liver or like I said depends on your pre surgery weight... I was 106kgs before mine in March and I didn't have to do the diet... Hope that helps:) I'm also in Wellard BTW... Anyway, good luck on the 8th:)

Thank you for your reply!

Im going through Dr Stephen Watson @ Murdoch SJOG. I have emailed the dietitian, as she gave ne the optifast diet to do, so ive asked if there's an alternative diet I can go on, even just doing 2 shakes then salad/veggies and chicken breast for dinner! Anyway we will see what she says bring on the 8th!!! And thank you

Oh he did my sleeve as well and I went through Nikki Cummings as my dietician, she is just the next floor down from Dr Watson's rooms and she was very understanding and helpful.... Didn't have to do that diet though... But like I said I transferred from considering the band to the sleeve so I switched dieticians and surgeons so maybe I just slipped the cracks for the diet... Didn't do and I think I turned out alright:) it's been 6 months so at and I am down to 79kgs from 106 so that's been life changing already... I can do so much more now and I feel much better about myself too...

Damn should of went to her! I went to jo-anne at diet by dyzine!

Wow that's amazing! I can't wait to lose! Im currently too embarrassed to tell my weight, but once I start loosing I will br happy to tell what I was! 9 days till op!

Same here only me and my husband know ! I told everyone else I had oesophagul reflux surgery to explain my hospital stay and the need for a liquid diet etc. My surgeon does both so any busy bodies who googled him based on my medical certificate would have found he does that as well:)

This is a great idea. I am getting sleeved on 24/10 and have been struggling to tell work I am having surgery for.
