Hi & :welcome: to the forum smallerme You have come to the right place then as everyone here is so friendly and full of info that will help you on what ever path you choose to take. I have only been a member for 2 months and getting the balloon then bypass so I am not the best to talk to you about the band or sleeve but didn't want to read and run before saying hi
Good luck with whatever wls journey you take I am sure someone will be along shortly to answer any questions you have

Hello and welcome What stage in the process are you?

Hi, I'm also new and finding my way around. I had a sleeve (with Fobi ring) a week last Thursday 24th and am already 23lbs down since starting the prep diet on 10th Jan. I'm not a fountain of experience on the sleeve, just the op and immediately afterwards. I am not hungry at all and trying hard to get in the recommended amount of protein at the moment to help healing and keep my crowning glory from falling out. It's very strange not being hungry and a revelation cooking meals without wanting to woof them all down. Good luck. x

I'm at the GP this evening (thankful for late appointments so I don't have to take all this kids) and I'm going to ask to be referred to the weight management peeps. So very early on in the process. Wish me luck!

You may not have to do weight management! I haven't heard of anyone in Leeds having to.

Just a little wave and reintro. So I started this journey way back in Feb, completed weight management and got referred. I am seeing the consultant on Thursday this week and it looks like I probably won't have to wait long after that for the op. Scared but also very excited.
