Joe hockey had the gastric sleeve.... Back in December... ( write up in melb herald sun)

Another really good one for Aussies is in Facebook. Calked "Gastric sleevers Australia". It is a closed group for members only. Anyone thinking if being sleeved, is waiting to be sleeved or who has been sleeved can join.

Thank you, yes I am stoked to have lost that much in 7 weeks... And I haven't even started exercising yet... Hope to do that this week. Have had some house guests for past 3 months.. So not much room in our place for me to WATPs ! But I'll get into to it soon! :-)

Hi, I'm In melb Victoria. I was sleeved 12th nov. so almost 7 weeks ago.. And I am thrilled to say I am 18.5 kgs down! Dropping clothes sizes is a wonderful thing. Having energy is a wonderful thing.. Having my sleeve is super wonderful!

Oh gosh u have sure been through the wringer....I do hope it all settles down for you very soon and you can begin to lead a normal life with your food....I'm still on purée, so not sure how ill go with normal foods yet....but scared about that part actually...but also looking forward to eating normal foods...

How can I upload a before photo and how can I change my weight details etc to kgs on my profile, and how can I put a "ticker" on there...

Sorry to see you have had troubles eating normal foods, so long past your surgery date. Did you chew your meatballs super well, did you eat the bun? I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that happening.... Have you spoken to your dietitian or doctor about this??

NOT my brain...oh golly...having a good day today ...LOL

Ah...GSS. Is already one I'm on...Dahhhh silly me! GASTRIC SLEEVE SUPPORT!! I'm sure they removed part of my stomach - nit my brain :-)

Thanks for this Junior Guru, I'll look into that one...but is the Facebook one a public one..that all my fb friends can see...I wouldn't want that... Debbie

Sorry ...that's Gastric Sleeve Support! Not forum ...

I think that's a GREAT IDEA, no offence to the rest of the world....it would be great to read more local experiences, without having to scan through the multitudes of o/s posts. Weights in kgs not pounds! Etc. there is one called Gastric Sleeve Forum..it too is a worldwide one..but I must have only registered for Australia or something, as it seems. Most posts are from aus. Cheers

Hi from Victoria...welcome to the forum...I'm only on day 11 post op...and so far everything is going along really well... I ate a poached egg for breaky this morn...chopped the life out of it and I think it took me around 35 minutes to eat it, but did leave a little for my dog! But it was good to taste something other than purée food..
