Thanks Meghan.... and CONGRATS!! awesome :)

Thankyou Gail.... I will be going to Calvery Hosp and my surgeon is Dr D'Onofrio who is also in North Adelaide. My friend recommended him, she was sleeved just over a year ago. I feel very comfortable with him and his staff.. couldnt speak highly enough of them :)
Gail the next time you organize a morning coffee meet up for Adelaide people... I'd love to come along too! xx

Hi and welcome,

The next month will go so fast you will wonder where the time went !!
I am almost 2 years out and at 52 know that this was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

If you need some local support just yell.
What hospital are you in and what surgeon do you have.

Hugs Gail

Hi all,

So very glad I found this forum. I have been reading for a while and recently joined.

My surgery date for the Sleeve is August 5th! (after doing the 12mth PHI wait!)
I am in Adelaide and had my final appt. with the Surgeon early this week, bloods today and start Opti end of next week.
My story and emotional journey are similar to everyone.
I am so tired of it all, being 47 and having up n down weight loss/gain, up and down emotions.. arghhhh! ...for 20yrs :(((
I just want to live my life instead of watching other people live and enjoy theirs.
And now at my age I am so so scared of an early death.
So now it's onward and upward, I'm feeling very nervous and excited.
In the beginning I wasn't going to tell many, but as time went on in the wait, I slowly starting telling a couple of close family/friends, and have had wonderful support already :)))
My bag is already nearly packed lol.. I told the surgeon this..and leant over his desk as i sat in his office and said....'1 month, 1 week, 1 day!'.... he smiled a big smile!

Love Health n Happiness! Looking forward to sharing the journey xx
