Hi Everyone
I am from Melbourne and am starting a support group.
Sometimes you can feel alone not knowing many or any other people that have had weight loss surgery, and there are always so many questions that we have and support that we need.
Sometimes it helps just to talk to someone that can relate to you
I would love to hear from others in Melbourne, Victoria that are interested in this support group.
Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you! I never knew i can get this thin until surgery. The thinnest i remember remember being was 140 but i never thought i would go from a size 22/24 to 00/0. I know i needed something more than the sleeve bc i have lost weight many times before but could never keep it off. I choose the SADI bc i refused to have another surgery. My surgeon suggested the SADI bc i wasn't a severe diabetic so he felt it would've been fine. Originally, i was going to go with the DS but my surgeon didn't recommend it and i listened to him. I would recommend going to therapy bc trust me as the weight starts to fall off it will trigger other stuff along with looking in the mirror and not recognizing who you are. I am over two years post op and continue i continue to look/post pics bc I it is my reminder of where i was to now. What i realize is when I stop posting pics it is so easy to fall back in to old bad habits along with eating carbs.

Hi. I had the SIPS on 12/3/13. I went from 268 to 110/115. I love the surgery. No complaints if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you for the information Peggy , very informative .
I'm still
Scared about the fact that it Involves re-routing intestines . And here in Melbourne Australia , the SADI/SIPS is not common at all .
There is a site where a bariatric lawyer argues that the SADI can be no where nearly compared to the DS.
Information is so widely available but it has overwhelmed me to be honest. And I gave up and decided to go with the sleeve .
I had people overseas even telling me that they'll have another sleeve if they were to gain weight again but would never involve the intestines . I'm so glad to hear that you and Losili are happy with it .
I actually liked the SADI when I researched it but people scared me out of it . I'm
Still unsure as I have my surgery booked for July 29
