Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[Sydney Susan 333]

On a much brighter note, had Breakfast and endless cups of coffee and tea with Lissa and Sueocco... Nearly 4 hours went in a blink. It was like catching up with old friends, although we'd never met before.

Hopefully next time we can get more Sydneysiders and visitors to join us. I'll try to post a photo, but given all the other problems I'm having don't expect I'll be able to.

It was so nice to finally meet Lissa and Susan and yes .. Just like catching up with old friends! What a great time just chatting and not always about our sleeves but about life! Thanks gals ... Great fun!

I've posted here before about my dud thyroid slowing down my weight loss to a crawl over the last few months (after losing over 20kg in the first two months)... Well I upped my meds and it looks like things are improving at last - this morning I cracked the 80kg mark.... At last! Only by about 100g, but being in the 70s again is feeling v sweet. I'm aiming for 73.

I have been away in Houston and when I came back I could not log on to the site. It took me a while to figure out it had changed. I think I am ok now. Nice photo of the Sydney meet up. You all look great. Wow Misty I hope you are ok. You have really been through the ringer!

Glad you are back, Jen!

My gallbladder surgery will be on the 20th and I need to be in hospital overnight. Not a big deal and I expect to be working (from home) by Friday. I hope this fixes it all! Saw my surgeon today (also my sleeve surgeon) and he is so happy with my progress. I've lost 30 kg, 70% or excess weight, and I'm right on the cusp of being "overweight"! He thinks I should shoot for a BMI of 27, but is prefer to get all the way to 24 or even 22. We will see!

Post this in the Assistance forum which is at the very bottom of the forum list and they will sort it out. I bet it is because you changed your name on here and maybe it got confused.

Thanks Misty - will do!

That is awesome! Congratulations. I hope you lose the last 7 kg really quickly!

Wow so many prob trying to get back to the site but finally working. My husband and I are back in Singapore and doing well. He has lost 17.5kg and I have lost 12kg in 3 weeks today.

Our Surgeon Dr Lockie and his team were fantastic, everything went really well and we will continue our phsycology and dietician appointments through video conferencing. Thanks for all of the advise from everyone on this site it has helped us so much.

Sorry we didn't get to catch up with you Kellie while we were there but we will possible be back to see Dr Lockie the first 1/2 of next year so maybe we can catch up then.

Hope the surgery goes well Misty

Hi guys!!! I finally worked out the site changed and have finally logged in lol. Well as of Monday I'm now halfway with my weightloss!!! I have now lost 35kgs. I'm so so shocked. But I did go shopping as I had to buy new shorts and 3/4 pants as all mine fall down as I walk haha. Well I'm now fitting in size 20 in Millers clothes which is fantastic.

Misty I hope all goes well with ur next op. It's good that ur surgeon can do it as u know what he is like

I can't get to the last few pages of the thread in the new app yet but I think I can post. I have to have my gallbladder removed and my sleeve surgeon Reza Adib will be doing it. I meet with him Monday and I hope he can do it soon so I don't have another attack and I can heal before my next trip to India in December. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi Misty, that's good news. It is a pretty easy non invasive surgery these days, so all the best fir a quick and easy recovery.

Good news! It is great when you go down into the next 10kg - 73 is not that far away!
