Saw my surgeon today. Dr Reza Adib from Weight Loss Solutions at Varsity Lakes on the Good Coast Queensland.

Yesterday I saw he Psychologist and Nutritionist. Both interviews were an hour each. It was quite intensive. I don't have a huge amount to lose but give me another few months and I will have plenty to lose.

You see I crrently have a Gastric Band and it was my best friend for six years until the dreaded. menopause hit me. After being at my ideal weight for many years suddenly I could not stop eating sweet foods especially chocolate. Bippity Bobbity Boom I had put on 15 kg. !!!!

On Thesday 23 Dec 14 I will be having my Band Removed and on 23,March 15 I will be getting my Sleeve as the body needs 3 months to recover from the removal of the Band. I am super excited and glad to be a member of this amazing forum.

Welcome @petaloshea. This is truly an amazing forum. I have learned so much from all of the people who contribute here, and I have found that most here are very kind. I really appreciate that.

I look forward to hearing about your progress. I understand that band to sleeve revisions present challenges.

Congratulations and welcome!
