Are there any Australian Sleevers out there, Would Love to hear from you.

Congratulations, that's fantastic news and you can now on with getting used to the sleeve and losing the weight permanently. It's great he did it all on the same day.i was in hospital for three nights and they would not let me go home until my temp went down and drains stopped running, although it doesn't sound like you have any in. Happy healing and keep up those fluids.

No drains for me thank goodness. Temp is down again this morning but oxygen levels still low. Not sure what that means but hopefully will still be home today. Have been sipping for what seems like days!!

Great to hear it was all done at once. Once you're out and home, you won't know yourself in a couple of days. All the best,

That's good. Sounds as though it will be smooth sailing. Enjoy getting used to your new tummy and take things slowly.

I am so excited for you that you had the band out and the sleeve done in one operation. It's such a relief and should give hope to a few others on this thread hoping to do the same thing in the new future.

I should takemthis post into my surgeon and say "look! You CAN do it mall in one go, you big fat, i mean, little skinny liar!" lol

However, I already know he would adjust his glasses and say "STAY. OFF. THE. INTERNET!"

Since he's so adverse to the internet couldn't you say - I have a friend who lives in (insert state here) and they had theirs done in one proceedure?

He does sound prickly

Well I am home and feeling a little uncomfortable but not really any pain which is great. Still a little concerned about leaks but doc said that every day the risk drops and by three weeks I should be in the clear. He did say if I feel unwell on any particular day to contact him so that makes me feel better. Managing to sip lots, today I have had water, V8 juice, and puréed and strained chicken and veggie soup. Loving the soup. I made it last week and froze it.

Strained Miso is also yummy

Hey everyone,

I just found out we are scheduled to head back out to The Alice by the end of the year.We will be doing another 3 years and I am excited but yet nervous bc healthcare in Alice can be a little dicey but I know that for any major issues we will be flown to Adelaide or wherever we need to go.Just a little nervous with my sleeve but I will be nearly 1 year out when we arrive I can't wait to begin yet another Australian Adventure!

I wonder what type of surgery James Packer had? He looks great after losing 35kgs. I've read that it was gastric bypass surgery and I've also read it was lap band. Interesting to know which one and Joe Hockey the politician also reportedly had gastric bypass surgery too. I wonder why they had that instead of the sleeve?

Congrats!! Where abouts on the Coast are you getting yours done? I had mine done by Dr Silverman at John Flynn. Dr Silverman was awesome!!

Hi Lila- I am going with a new US Dr - her name is Farah Husain- through Weight Loss Solutions Australia- the surgery will also be at John Flynn!

Help please..I have put on put 1kg this week and have been stalling regularly since 3 weeks post op. Now 5 months put the weight loss has really slowed. I've lost 24kgs, but still have another 14 to go. I have started to keep a food diary the past few days to discuss with my dietician who I feel a need to consult with again. Others who are 4-6 months out is your weight still coming off consistently and if so what are you eating on an average day please?

Hey Kelli,

Mate as you know I'm a bit behind you so what I'm eating is probably not relative.

One thing I cant live without is the myfitnesspal app for tracking food and excercise. I love it.

Good luck - I know you'll overcome this hurdle.
