Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and thought I should introduce myself.
I'm 42 years old and live in Sydney.
I have been thinking about surgery for a very long time...my first consult was about 4 years ago where the Dr recommended a sleeve....My Mum and I drove off saying"can you believe he wanted to remove most of my stomach!!!!".
Fast forward...and here I am..booked in to have 85% of my stomach removed!!!
Initially I had requested the Gastric Sleeve plication,and my 2nd Dr just said it was a "pain in the butt to do"....enter Dr number 3...he recommended the sleeve due to my job(I'm a flight attendant).
So I'm all booked starting Opti Fast tomorrow...surgery booked for the 22nd...I'm scared.....but really excited.
I'm hoping to get lots of tips from all of you who have already been there...done that.
