First topic message reminder :

This thread is specifically for Miss. If you wish to read/respond to her post on here go ahead..... if not, then don't read it.... you know what to do....... go for it....

Thanks so much everyone for your goodlucks, we are (mum and myself) are thinking about going down there tonight and stay in a hotel. We do have family in Sydney near the hospital but we don't want to stay with them to tell us all the negatives and so forth. Just need to get in touch with the hospital.

good luck for tomorrow Mel. we will be thinking of you.... and you will be on the losing side before you know it. Will your mum be with you on the day ?

Good luck for today, Miss - see you on the other side ;)

Hi Mel,

Woohoo!! only one sleep to go. You must be soooo excited after your long build up. When are you travelling down to Sydney? Are your Mum or Hubby coming down with you too?

I hope that your op tomorrow all goes smoothly and that you have a very easy recovery.

Good luck Mel - Carrie

Thanks Wren, you would know because your op is over and done with! How does it feel? Still tender to touch? Hope you are well.

Good luck with surgery tomorrow Miss! Guess what? After tomorrow noone will nolonger try and talk you out of it! Will be thinking of you and wishing you the best, but also I know that this will be a breeze after all your previous surgeries!!!

Thanks lmboyd, I hope my recovery is good and quick as well. I am hoping the hospital staff are good, I havent heard a great deal of patients who underwent this kind of surgery at Belavista before. But I am very sure that Dr Durmush gets very caring, qualified nurses to look after his patients at that hospital... Still feeling that I will be in the best care!!!

Hi Miss good luck with your surgery this week I hope you have a speedy recovery. You deserve an easy run with all that you have been through

Thanks Sue, I am feeling that I would find the same... fingers crossed lol

Hi Miss

I am a lurker who doesnt post much - not much to offer most of the time.
Good luck with your surgery. For me it has been much much easier than I thought it would be.

Ohhh thanx aprilsun, i was just sitting in my lounge recliner playing nemo on the x box and when I finished I got up and all
on the left side of the spine was killing, I was tightening up as I even played a kiddies game!!! lol. I guess I wont be playing that many games then!!! Just watching movies and the tv... rats!!! I was looking 4ward to playing some games.

Hi Miss,
Wow cant believe your op day is nearly here. I hope you do continue to post on here, because its good to get feedback from people that have gone through the same operation.

Dont get too upset if you dont get lots of responses, lots of people read but they dont all write anything, so you just keep writing your story and you will get responses back.

Trust me, you get more responses than I have got, any time I have posted on here..... lol

You take care and I wish you all the luck with your Op.

They are the absolute best!!! I wonder if the surgeon will give me the go ahead to go on holidays on the 1st of May for 2 weeks? I think he would let me but make sure I take it easy!!!

I think I'll also be in at least 4 days. I live a 4 hr drive from the surgeon so want to be cautious before heading back home.

Are'nt Mum's wonderful?

Thankyou so very much Katrina, its hard also because my brain is saying 'Chocolate, I want more chocolate'. and I give it more chocolate because I know that I really need to stop the chocolate just two days b4 the op and there after.

Hi Miss

I know I wasn't very supportive when I read some of your comments before, but after reading more of your posts and comments from others who understand your situation better, I'm also trying to understand your situation better.

My niece has a physical disability which affects her legs and I can understand why you wouldn't want to be over your chosen weight for you so that your mobility isn't affected.

Good luck with your surgery this week, I hope everything goes smoothly and you keep asking questions on this site as you move through liquid, mushie and back onto solid foods again.

cheers, Katrina

Hi Miss - I see you are having your surgery the day after me.
I'm wondering if your experiencing the same emotions I am - nervous anticipation, excitement all rolled into one!

I remember reading an earlier post of yours that your husband wasn't keen on you having the surgery. I hope he has come to a better understanding of it, so you can draw strength from his support.

Keep us posted as to your progress, & all the very best for Tuesday - will be thinking of you.

Hi Miss,
my doctor was quite clear - and this was also in the literature - that the sleeve may not assist you in reaching your "ideal" perfect weight.

It seems that on average people loose 75 - 85% of their excess weight. Not everyone will loose to their minimum weight.

You will go through periods where you won't lose weight - it happens to everyone who's losing weight, whether they've had surgery or not. It's called a plateau. I wouldn't start doing more, just maybe switch things around a bit, like try something new at the gym. You just need to have patience when it happens, if you stick to healthy eating patterns, it'll come off.

I think I will have about 30kl to lose to be at my ideal weight, I am a bit frightened that I might go through a period where the weight will pause and stop the loss of klgs. Should I start doing more when this happens, like go swimming or start hydrotherapy, or maybe more in the gym???

Hi Mel, ppl do read lots of threads, and reply more so when it relates to them. Please keep posting as you will need the support after your op.

Hi Miss,

I didnt realise this thread was here until today! Very luxurious to have one all to yourself I must say!

I think it might be helpful for you to have very clear written guidelines and a plan from your doctor for what you need to be doing and when, to help you remember, (and if your memory is like mine)

If you dont have one then definitely ask, my doctor gave me one.

They come in really handy.

Anyway, good luck with things.

Deb

Hi Miss
I read your thread too, I just don't respond often as I'm just not one for being very chatty, never have been! Goodluck with your surgery soon, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hey Miss.....
I have read it too but is very hard to understand the flow of things. Do you delete bits or am I going silly. LOL
What date is your surgery? You must be looking forward to it.

Oops, sorry just noticed it's the 20th, not long then!
Linda :)
