Tubs your life will changeas you travel along this road. Before I had the sleeve I had diabetes, high bp, high cholesteral and sick of being overweight and struggling to change it all.

Now 17 months later I am down to goal, have given diabetes, high bp and high cholesteral the flick. I am always saying it is lovely to have the energy and be able to buy the clothes I want and have longed for. I have also had a tummy tuck and still am amazed by the flat tummy.

Take heart your weight and your life is going to go through changes. (Not menpause!! hehe)

All the very best Jo, can't wait to hear about your progress

Actually do keep a journal, it's an on line one and can be found at http://tubbytub.blogspot.com.au/

But its not just about the gastric sleeve, it's my life in general, (my weight being a major focus of that)

Jo

Welcome and congratulation onbeingso close to haveing the sleeve. I was excited and nervious at the same time before the op. A confusing feeling but normal. I am sure you will be ok and look forward to hearing from you many times in the future.

I love my sleeve and I think you will love your sleeve too. It is the best thing I have done.

Hi Tubs
I agree with Lin, start a diary, it will become a really good friend......... I have a friend who went through the public system and she too waited 4 years, but there was NO COST.
Glad things are OK on opti, keep it up, not long to go now,,, I am 6 sleeos away, so I know how nervous you are.

Cheers
Vicki

welcome. make sure you start a diary. waiting 4 yrs wow. didnt know you could get the sleeve in the public system

Hello, I'm from Bendigo and since the sleeve isn't available up this way heading to Box Hill hospital for my operation.
Been on the public Waiting list for 4 years and finally have a date.
10th August.

I am so nervous now, been waiting and waiting for this day and now it's here, want to run a mile in the other direction (but I'm not going to)
Been on the optifast since Saturday. Originally told 4 weeks on optifast by the hospital dietician, but due to the booking office only giving me 2 weeks notice. Falling short of that goal. So 4 days in on the pre op diet and I'm so hungry, but being good. The only norty has been a bit of dressing on some salad. should have limited it to a teaspoon but had about a tablespoon.

Been a member on this site for a bit, but only just sat down and worked out how to navigate it tonight.

So hi everyone. Look forward to chatting when I can.
