Hello Loz and welcome to the forum.

WTG on taking the first step and making your appointment.
I assume you have been to one of Richard's seminar's.

This is where the info is on our next meet up which is 25 January.

You are most welcome to come along and it would actually be great for you.
There is a small group of us from the forum that meet up every school holidays.
If you are anything think me, I was like a sponge before surgery getting all the information on the sleeve.
I meet 2 sleevers who had had their surgery, before I had mine and it was fantastic and the information they shared was invaluable.

Please PM me if there is anything I can help you with.
I have been through the whole journey and love my sleeve, I am now fit and healthy and loving life.
I can't speak more highly of Richard and his team. Fantastic!

Cheers Jan

Cost can be a big issue when you don't have PHI.
Good luck with everything, and don't forget to drop into the Riverina meetup area.
We usually meet every school holidays, so next meetup probably not until end of January.

Hi Janette
Thanks for the welcome. I'm having it done in Sydney due to cost factor. I don't mind you asking the question, I don't have PHI therefore had to minimise costs. This was the best way to go. I know the team in Wagga are also meant to be great as well.
Here's to a smooth journey,
Cheers

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on your decision to be sleeved.

Hope you don't mind me asking but why are you not having it done in Wagga?

Good luck with your journey.

Welcome to GSS...

Oh how exciting, nice to find others with the same month.................Seems a way off but yes it will go fast.
Thanks

Hi Dolphin Bliss

Congrats on setting a date and good luck as you count down towards yur surgery. November is literally just around the corner and the countdown will go faster than you think. In the meantime enjoy mning the cornucopia of treasures on this site...amazing before and after pics in the user galleries...dazzling diaries which chart people's progress and lots and lots of places where every question you can think of has been, or will be, asked...

Don't hesitate to query and question...it's a great community of wonderful people who are more than happy to help.

Hi everyone

Well, I'm taking one step at a time here. I went to see Dr Craig Taylor last Thursday and I have my sleeve date set for the 23rd November 2010 (wish it was sooner) in Sydney. They fill up fast.............................. It's the unknown that's a bit daunting but I am so excited to be having this done. No more diets - they have previously ruled my life and it's time for change. Yippee....

I'm off to Hawaii in March/April 2011 and to know that I'll be a much happier, healthier person then is awesome. I look forward to chatting with you all as I go through the different stages. Please have patience while I work out how to use this forum also.

Thanks heaps,
