Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[Aussiegirl 580]

^{Lissa VaVaVooooooom!!!!}

Birdie, might be a bit of a delay but will come around soon enough We will all be waiting for your progress on the other side

Dons 2.0 way to keep strong, you are doing awesome, eating out was the hardest part when on the Opti.

An update from me, I am now 20 days post my plastics surgery. Things are finally starting to settle down and thought I would take some progress shots. Still have some Fluid accumulating under my right arms and my butt cheeks (not a place I was expecting, was expecting hips but not to get a weird looking bubble butt), the doctor will likely drain these or some of these when I see her for a progress update tomorrow.

I am waiting at Holy Spirit Hospital Chermside for my friend who has gone into surgery to have a sleeve done. I hope all goes smoothly as I feel a bit responsible for inspiring her to make this decision. I can't wait to see her changing. She started at about 130kg and lost 5kg during opti pre op phase.

That's amazing, Kelli! You will be able to give her so much support too.

Kelli, hoping your friends surgery goes great and she recovers quickly

My husband and I have a phone / video call with Dr Lockie on Thurs. Really nervous but sooooooo excited. Not confirmed but we may be able to both have our sleeve's done within the next 6 weeks. Fingers crossed.

Kelli you are such an inspiration and so generous with your advise, your friend is lucky to have you as she starts her journey.

I know this has been the biggest roller coaster trying to org from Singapore. We have to go to the Doc here tomorrow to have all of our blood tests etc. we would of preferred to have it done in Syd but unfortunately there wasn't enough flexibility. So QLD it is if everything goes OK

Where in Qld? Maybe we could meet while you are here recovering?

[kelliv 659]

Can anyone tell me if they have been sleeved by Dr Phil Lockie from QLD. It looks like the wait in Sydney might be a little longer than we wanted to wait so looking at an alternative in QLD. If you used Dr Lockie can you give us some feedback please.

Where does he operate? I haven't heard of him personally.

Aussie girl thanks yeah was bummed for short period when heard my surgery slightly postponed but okay now just going to continue with pre op diet as I have just now it used to it and don't want to start again! Only like 10 days extra! Will only loose a little more weight before op! been 5 days now on pre op diet and lost 3kg! So I figure what I lose is only a benefit to me and reduces my anesthetic risk!
