Hi I’m in South Australia and had my surgery 1 week ago today. Had lap-band removal and an Omega loop (I think it’s referred to as a mini gastric bypass).
Only on nourishing fluids atm and still a bit tender, but I’m so pleased to be the other side of my operation.
i had lots of problems with the band and am hoping this will be more successful - I’m sure it will be!
Wishing everyone a successful journey!

May 2nd here as well SmileyMay! (though will be about a half day ahead of you here in Aussie land)
*I'm not sure why my ticker is displaying May 1st*

(copied below what I pasted in the April/May thread too)
I'm jumping in here now as I just got my date today! 2 May 2018 is my surgery date, and have started my pre-op phase immediately as they would ideally have liked me on the pre-op diet for 4 weeks with my BMI so close to 50.

Kids will be back at school that week after the 2 week term holiday, and hubby will be taking a week and a half off to manage the kidlets (6 & 9 years) while I'm in hospital and my first few days at home.

Any other Aussies in here? I'm in Adelaide and going with Dr Michael France at Ashford Specialist Centre.

I am so crazy excited, and glad I'm not having to jump through insurance hoops and lengthy delays like so many US sleevers.

I will have to stick with just lean meats/protein and veggies today and tomorrow until my formulite Meal Replacements arrive by post (can't have Optifast as aspartame and other artificial sweeteners trigger nasty Migraines for me), then 2 shakes and one lean meat & veg meal a day until 2 days before surgery, only shakes the last day before surgery.
