  2. Hi all, I was sleeved 24/6/11, I have been okay suffering alot of acid reflux but its dealable. But i have been having some weird pain just under my boobs right in the middle it happens like a ball of something is trying to escape, VERY DIFFERENT TO GAS PAIN THOUGH! It hurts it is hard to explain though. It happens almost all day but in small parts. Sorry im not very clear, Some advice if any one knows what this means.' Amanda

    OUTPATIENT vsg anyone?

    Hi there, How are you? Well i am in brisbane australia and i had my surgery on fri 24th june i only got released from hosp on wed 29th so i stayed 5 nights and over here that is how it works 3-5 night as i had no complications except a lot of gas pain and nausea i was very suprised to see that most people in other countries go home the same day, on day 4 i started 30ml an hour of clear fluids and had to do that for 24hr my dr told me when i asked to go home that if you leave to early you risk a leak and a leak then leads to icu. So i was happy enough to stay! I hope you get the answers you need just thought i would let you know how it happens over here in the aussie land lol. Take care and best wishes! xx

  12. Hi all, So finally found a place where ppl are doing the same as me, Well a short version of my story is i am a 23 yr old mum of 3 baby girls, I am 96.5 kg pre op. I have finally after a 5 year wait been booked for my surgery on the 24th june 11, I am having the sleeve due to my health problems and i am hoping it benifits me like it has so many others! I am so nervous i had given up smoking as soon as i knew my surgery was being booked and found that hard in its self. Now i was meant to do opti fast shakes for 2 wks pre op but i have found they make me sick i suffer severe head aches constantly and get a rash from them! argghhhh not a great start! so as my sleeve is public and i did not want to let this once in a life time oppurtunity go past i decided i would start a lo cal program. With the help of a shake in the morn, Salad at lunch and wok vegies and chicken at night im eating around 400-650 cal a day, the first few days were tough especially having to cook for my girls and not nibble on their food lol. Well i think im doing ok now but gee i miss my chocolate lol, i would love to hear how you guys feel im doing and any pre or post tips would be great! Thanks Guys Amanda xox
