You look so amazing and so pleased. Congratulations. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

I'm having my surgery this morning and it's way weird to consider that I might not use my bowels again in a hurry. However it's great to know that this is nothing to worry about so thanks for the heads up guys. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

I've spent this morning walking around weird and wonderful shops. I even managed to get lost in a 4 storey shopping mall with only golf shops! It's hard to find your way out when every store front is only displaying golf balls, golf clubs, tees and golfing outfits - kind of being like in a mirror maze. On the way back to my hotel I had a pedicure and a neck and shoulder massage. We could barely converse but amazingly enough they understood 'doctor', 'big' and 'skinny' - they even accompanied them with hand gestures. So now, in half an hour I'm due at my clinic where we will finalize all the paperwork and then they drive me to my hospital. My surgeon has already contacted me on a group app that they asked me to install and wished me a good morning and told me he's looking forward to meeting me. Now there's something you definitely don't get from an Australian surgeon! Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App So I'm tucked up in bed in the hospital. My surgeon just called me to tell me to relax, sleep well and that he'll be here in the morning to answer any questions I may have. My cannula is in, my tests are all finished and I have a lovely Thai companion called Joop sleeping in my room with me. I thought she was about 17 when we meet this afternoon but it turns out she has 3 children and her oldest is 9yo! She is a tiny little thing and very keen to help me. She speaks very little English but as I speak no Thai she is streets ahead of me. I've played spider solitaire on my tablet, tried sketching a cats face and now I'm going to take my surgeons advice and get some rest. Only 1 sleep to go...

I'm safely in my hotel suite after being picked up at the airport and chauffeured through Bangkok by one of my clinics drivers. There's a lovely big spa bath in my bathroom and I'm going to go and hop in it while I still can before my surgery. The flights were nicely uneventful today - especially after a previous flight when I answered a call for medical assistance over the planes PA. I even managed to get a little sketch done as I've brought my graphite pencils and Water colors with me to help pass the time while I'm recuperating. But right now I'm off for a little stroll around Bangkok before submerging myself in bubbles. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

Please keep an eye out for me. While it's good to feel excited for new people (and I'm definitely a newbie as I'm having my surgery in a couple of hours) I would really appreciate the guidance and honesty of a wls vet. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

Today is Wednesday 6th July. I'm sitting at Perth International Airport, I'm flying to Thailand to have a lap band removed and then gastric bypass surgery. I'll arrive in Bangkok this evening, be admitted into Hospital tomorrow afternoon and my surgery is on Friday morning. Thankfully I'll have temples and markets to wander until my admission because I'm feeling the need to be busy. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing and soooo much more confidant. Well done Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

I'm having my surgery this coming Friday but I'd love to chat. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

Thailand offered the best surgery/ surgeon/ Hospital/ price package. Plus I stayed in a Thai Hospital with my daughter after she was hit by a truck and it was amazing. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

West Oz here - flying to Thailand on Wednesday 6th for my surgery on Friday 8th. Yee-hah! Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

July 8th for me. I had a band in 2004 that has caused discomfort and vomiting ever since. So on Friday the band comes out first, followed by gastric bypass. Just think, one week today and I'll be two days post op! Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Western Australia and I'm flying by myself to Thailand for surgery. I fly in this Wednesday evening and will be admitted to hospital Thursday afternoon for Friday morning surgery. I'll be in Thailand for just over 2 weeks before I fly home again. ???? Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App
