Hi Tink,
i was done in January this year and like you thought about WLS for a while..about 3 years. I know I wasn't in the right head space back then so I am glad I waited to be in the right head space. It doesn't matter how long you thought about it, now everything will be fine. No point looking back..just forward!

thankyou so much to you all for you words of comfort and for welcoming me to this wonderful site.

Welcome Tink

I will be sleeved in August and look forward to joining the losers bench

Hi Tink.

Congratulations on making the decision to improve not only your health, but your life also.
I was sleeved in January, and I dont regret my decision for a minute, I know that this was the right thing to do for not only myself, but my family also.

I look forward to getting to know you better and hearing all about your weightloss journey.

Hi Tink,

Well done on taking that hard step and having the surgery. I am really glad that you have such a supportive family to help you along the way.

You will find lots of information and support on this website, as well as hopefully make a few friends.
Great to have you here.

Hi Tink and welcome to the forum.
It's great you have been getting a lot of support from your family. Congratulations you made this decision for your health and your little daughter - its the best decision I have made and you will feel so much better as the weight drops - not only physically but yourself confidence as well.
Keep us posted on how your doing - you might like to start a diary.
Hugs

hi guys i am just new to this site so i thought i would say hi and introduce myself.
i was sleeved on the 28th may 2009 by the wonderful Dr Gordon Padovan. it was something i had been thinking about for a very long time but just didnt have the courage to do. i have quite a few health issues that were'nt getting any better and i was just sick of being unhappy with myself. besides the health problems the main reason i decided to do this was my 5yr old little girl when one day i was sitting there watching her play and i thought to myself i hope i am hear to watch her grow up get married and have children of her own but i knew if i kept going down the path i was on that it would never happen, i just would'nt be hear to see all that and that was my motorvation. my husband and family have been so supportive of me during this journey and have helped to make it just that little bit easier. would love to talk to you and share stories.
