Lol I love it

No I don't as I didn't go today but I Think u meet dr Craig and the team, and they explain stuff, you can also meet others who have had the surgery. I found out about the seminar on this website http://www.oclinic.com.au/seminars.html Hope it helps out

I know that there is one today (17 jan) at 6:30pm but you have to call Karen and register. I'll try and find out when the next seminar is and let you guys know

Did anyone go to the seminars held by dr Craig before they had there surgery or consultation.

I'm also 223 pounds and was considering the band for almost a year then one day my older sister said that I should probably look into getting the sleeve because the risk of complications are a lot less compared with the band. I have my first consult in feb and I want the sleeve.

Omg I'm very sensitive especially when it comes to people mentioning my weight, so thanks for the heads up, ill be sure to take tissues with me lol And I'm hoping to go into this consult being well prepared I've written down a bunch of questions regarding pre op and post op. I'm so happy I found this app, I find I'm more aware of what to expect. Thank you kelly

Goodluck with your appointment Hun I have my first consult on the 8th of feb and I'm already getting nervous.

Hey guys What happens after the first consult with dr Craig does he send you off to get some test and do you see the psychiatrist and dietician before they give you a surgery date?

Congrats Hun, I can't wait to be where your at.

I was very active until I started Uni 3years ago and that's when I became the fat girl who lives in a glass case watching everyone around me living their life and I honestly can't wait till I break free from this prison I've put myself in. P.s my parents think I'm crazy lol, my mum tells her friends that "I'm not normal"

Good luck I hope you get approved I'm 23yo and from Australia so I just need to go to my first consultation which is in feb to know if I qualify for getting the sleeve or not (fingers crossed)

I've never had that problem I gain weight evenly throughout my body so I'm pretty proportionate but I've always had big Breast and a small arse.

Pole dancing, Belly dancing, Running Sky diving, White Water rafting, Para sailing and para gliding Maybe even try out surfing

Good luck Hun inshallah everything goes smoothly and you have minimal pain post op.

Hi makayla, I'm also new here and decided to have WLS, my first consult with my surgeon is in feb 2013 and I'm really excited/nervous and I can't wait. I'm 23yo and also a nursing student who'll be graduating next year (fingers crossed). I've been reading heaps of post were people have issues in their relationships after getting the sleeve done and this has become a motivator for me to become a healthier and happier person before mr right comes along lol. I wish you all the luck and success with this journey your about to take. ✌

Congrats Hun I'm so happy for you. I hope your finding the liquid phase tolerable, that's my main concern that I'll struggle throughout that phase I'm very picky when it comes to what I eat.

Thank you so much guys I'm feeling more confident about choosing dr Taylor, I'm really excited and can't wait for the consultation to come along so I can begin this journey. I was just curious as whether you were self paying or covered by a health fund? I'm doing the private route because it is much more affordable for me. And if there is any differences in treatment? Thanks you again for all the support I really do appreciate it ill be the first person to be doing this type of surgery in my family and have no one that I can turn to. I'm so happy I found this app ????
