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?

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
