Hi all a new Aussie here. Is there anyone still looking at this thread that accessed their super? I'm booked for the 11/7/2016 and worried I've left the paper work to late due to some admin issues. I'd love to hear from anyone who has dealt with this recently.

Hi all, anyone know if there is a Gastric Sleeve support group in Albury or Wagga Wagga? Ta! I'm in a small country town not that far from these 2 larger towns and I just want to talk to people who can understand. I was sleeved almost a year ago. Loving this sleeve!

Hey all,

It's been a really long time so I thought I would drop a line and give you all an update.

I was sleeved on 4.9.12. My starting weight was 178kg. The sleeve didn't go well, I ended up with a leak and multiple surgeries, a three month hospital admission and an 8month at home recovery later and I was finally back on track. Since then my life has changed immeasurably! I am so much healthier and fitter than I ever have been!! I now exercise daily - run, yoga, tennis and ballet and I even love it now! My weight has stabilised (now stick around 68kg). I recently got married and am so excited to get "fat" legitimately with kid lets

For anyone who is honking about doing this, or is still in that tough early "holy crap what the eff was I thinking?" Stage, there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Things get better, you'll work hard to change your relationship with food and exercise and you will gain control over food you never previously had.

It is one of the hardest but most awesome things you'll do for your health and quality of life!

Best wishes to you all xx Liss

Well done. That's an amazing loss. Have you had any issues with loose skin?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
