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

I've not been told we can't have coffee after the surgery so I'll have to check. How long after surgery were you allowed to have coffee ?

I had it the day I got home after 3 days on clear fluids in hospital. No problem at all.

I was told lots of strong coffee could irritate the new sleeve so I stuck to one flat white a day in the first few weeks post surgery.They had instant coffee on the tray in hospital so it must be the strong brew to avoid.

Hey Misty' date=' I work in the city, so if you would like to catch up let me know..would be good to meet you if you have time in Sydney[/quote']

I'd love to but all our time here is so packed! We are even going to see Romeo and Juliet at the opera house tomorrow night! We are staying at Balmain in a room let out via AirBNB and it's working out so well because it's right near the ferry. I am sure I will be back because we have loved it so far.

Sorry Sue & Lissa, I won't be coming to Sydney now in November. I was stopping off on my way to Melbourne and that trip has been cancelled. Sue I will be traveling to Sydney regularly next year with my new job so look forward to meeting you early in the new year. I know you will both enjoy your catch up.

Oh that's such a shame but totally understandable!!

I wasn't told that and have been having coffee right through - I drink it very weak and must admit that I have also cut back on the amount as I think it does upset my stomach a bit if I have too much

Liss - do you just want to meet in Parramatta then - I could meet you for coffee at your hotel - it is a lot closer for me - it is entirely up to you as I know you might have been looking forward to going out in the city.

Parramatta is fine by me. I am not sure where I am staying yet but maybe we can meet at the Westfield somewhere for brunch on Sunday if it's just us? Any time that suits you is fine by me

Anyone in Melbourne who can help out a gal who posted a new thread in the Aussie forum?

Just go up a level to see all the threads in the Aussie sleevers section and it's right under this one. Without looking I think her name is Anna. So far only Americans have answered her.

Thanks misty, I've found it and replied.

Doing fine' date=' I was worried the first day but haven't had a problem. I have been mixing black coffee with the coffee shake to get rid of the sweetness and it's been great.[/quote'] Your count must really be on now. When do you arrive in Brisbane?
