Hi there, I'm due to have my sleeve on July 5th. I'm on the Gold Coast. Looking to meet new friends who are on this crazy journey xxx Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
Are there any fellow Aussie vegans here? It would be so great to be able to ask questions of each other. Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
I have been told I will be taking home blood thinners injections too. I once had a D-dime test because of some pain I was having and they suspected a blood clot. The test came back positive but no clot was found on scans, I had the jabs then. For this reason my surgeon doesn't want to take any risks. Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
Omg I didn't think about this!!! I am 3 weeks pre op. I'll be absolutely gutted if I can no longer swallow! And the act itself causing gas build up and stomach cramps?? Nooo no no noooo! Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
Just got home from having gastroscopy. My surgeon has it done as a precaution. All good, no issues. Roll on 5th July! Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
Vegan here! I'm due to have gastric sleeve on 5th July and am trying to work out my pre op diet. Can't seem to find a vegan multivitamin that can be used post op. The multivitamin melts the surgeon recommended are not vegan :/ Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app
