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

I will be there' date=' I am very excited! There would be a bus from Helensvale station to Southport I think. If you saw a bus that said Seaworld on it that bus would go past Marina Mirage. I am sure you could google Gold Coast buses.[/quote']

Great Jen I look forward to meeting you. Are you driving down from Brisbane or do you live on the Coast?

I live here. Can't seem to find any one else who lives here and yet I know my surgeon is kept busy and Sleeve is his surgery of choice. I am looking forward to meeting you all, I have lots of questions.

That's awesome. I will take you up on that and I will chip in for the petrol.

Great Misty. Text me your address closer to the day. Don't worry about petrol but you can shout coffee on the way if you like! I often stop at a roadhouse half way to the Coast. Can't wait to see how different you look since we last met.

On Saturday 5 October we are planning a get together on the Gold Coast where Lissa will be visiting on holidays. I have already had the privilege of meeting her when we both happened to be visiting Melbourne recently and I am sure there are many more of you who have followed her journey and would like to meet her in person. We are going to meet at a cafe called Providore at the Marina Mirage Shopping Centre at 11.00am. Let us know if you will be coming along.

I'll be there Kelli!!!

I'll be there Kelli!!!

Wonderful, I look forward to meeting you.

It'll be great to meet everyone. If my hubby is home he'll drop me off and then take our dog to the spit lol.

Wow sounds like we are going to have a good number coming on the 5th!!! Can't wait to see you guy's!!

That's great. Do you have family or friends in Brisbane to support you both? If not I will be happy to come and visit you both or bring you anything you need during the couple of.nights you are in hospital. I live at The Gap which is only about 20 minutes drive from your hospital. Will you both have to do Optifast during 2 week pre-op?

Hi Kelli that's such a thoughtful offer, thank you so much. We do have friends and family in Brisbane but have not told them yet. We figure the longer we delay telling them. The more time we have to work out how to deal with the advice and fears of everybody else. Yes we will need to be on the shakes for at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. Maybe we can catch up for coffee once we get to Brisbane. We would love to have someone to chat with about life after the sleeve. Thank you once again for the generosity of your time and advice. Enjoy your time on the Gold Coast meeting up with everyone.

Anyone else being sleeved in October ?

Hi Everyone!

A little update on my progress so far! So I was finally sleeved a week ago today! 7 long months on a waiting list and my day came

This week has gone by so fast - thankfully as well because the first couple of days weren't pleasant at all lol

But today being one week out and three weeks since starting the pre op diet and I've lost 10.9kg! I knew because I was heavier I would have a big number in the first few weeks but never did I think it would be that high! I'm so pleased and yes I am missing actually chewing/eating good but hell I can get over that if my results are so good lol

Loving my sleeve already lol

I only a few months ago moved from the Gold Coast to Rockhampton - such a bummer as I would have loved to meet u all at the meet coming up! Hugs and hope u have a wonderful time!

Donna

That's a great loss, Donna!

Well done Donna. We all love our sleeves!! Keep us posted on your progress and I am sorry we won't get to meet you on the 5th on the Gold Coast

That is fantastic Donna!!! It's so good being on the losers bench!

Great to hear your op went well Donna and how fantastic your weight loss has been. Well done!

Good on you Donna! That is a great amount to lose.

I wont b able to make the GC catch up. I have a friend coming to stay for the weekend. It will b very interesting as i have not told her about the sleeve and I am a little nervous about it actually.

Feeling sad now as I would love to b able to catch up with u all

Hope u all have a great time.
