1st appointment down

I saw Dr Ian Michell today and all seems very positive. I have to see a dietitian, psychiatrist and respiratory specialist and have a range of tests, including blood tests, an ECG and chest xray. If required I may also need a sleep study but i don't think I will.

At this stage i may be sleeved by July or August, I would hope sooner but it is hard to get into all of these specialists in a timely manner. He said if I was too loose the average amount of weight I could expect perhaps a 60kg loose, taking me to about 85kgs hopefully. I would be happy with this!

Tomorrow I am going to try to re arrange the appointments again so I don't need to go into Melbourne on 3 separate days for them. And thanks to my friend Tracy for coming with me today and offering all the support she usually does.

    All the best. I initially saw my surgeon back in November and a few days later, got a phone call stating I needed this and that done. I didn't even commit 100% to the surgery. I had a sleep study done in January, which came back negative. That's the only test I've had done, no bloods, nothing, which I think is a bit strange, but I assume they'll take bloods as they prep me for surgery.
