Welcome and congrats on your approval. Who's doing your surgery and where? I am in Brisbane too and live at The Gap.

I'm having it done at the Wesley by Dr Blair Bowden. I've noticed I have the same dietitian as you. I've only seen Di once and was impressed by her.

Yes she is great and really understands the needs of people with sleeves. I am seeing her every second month now until I reach goal and am comfortable with maintenance. I wish I had been with Di since the beginnng.

Skubidz welcome to the thread or the sleeve family.

As the others have said there is a lot of information around and between the lot of us, we have experienced almost everything.

I am now 5 days post my Tummy Tuck and arm lift, and doing well. Still in hospital with 4 drains which is driving me stir crazy, and have had some horrible nausea for the last few days due to pain meds and being backed up, hopefully the backed up part is moving now.

Hard to really see my body at the moment, it is all very bruised and swollen but will eventually know how it will look. Tho I do enjoy putting on underwear without my belly over hanging, the thing I have hated the most.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
