What a winner! You look amazing Bec.Congratulations.

Thanks :)

Good evening all' date=' Well I went to Doomben yesterday to The Port Office Marquee Trackside. What a fantastic day!!! It felt weird getting compliments from strangers most of the day!! Lol. On another good note I walked away with tripling my money lol. Here is a pic of me from the day [/quote']looking great Bec!!

You look amazing, Bec!

I had a gallbladder attack yesterday afternoon and it was a bad one. I'm still sore. Went to the GP today and ordered an ultrasound and some bloodwork. I wonder if the gallbladder is also causing my diarrhea. I am sort of hoping they will want to remove it even though I don't have time for a surgery right now!

In good news, I will probably get to my surgeon's goal by my 6-month mark on 14 Nov. Hard to believe I went on holiday and lost almost 3 kg! I'm 4 kg away now.

Hi Misty- bad news about the gall bladder attack :( hope it sorts put quickly but how great you're so close to goal!! Congrats!!

Hi Everyone' date=' I am new to this site and just saw this thread re sleevers in Australa and I am excited. There doesn't seem to be a lot of us. More people seem to have lap bands. In am in Brisbane and am due to have a sleeve on 14 August with Dr John Copp. Would love to hear from others in Brisbane.[/quote']

How is it going?

I have oodles of stones and sludge in my gallbladder according to my scan. Hopefully back to the GP tomorrow to see what the next step is.

Target seems to be discontinuing the $20 jeans I've been living in. I went today and bought size 14 (new current size) and 12 (next size) for $8 each! I guess I can spring for the $49 jeans when I hit 10.

I hope they can fix ur problem quickly Misty!!

Hi all smile.png for anyone who can come, we are meeting at Coco Cubano on Sunday at 10 am in Parramatta. Looking forward to meeting you guys in person!!

See you there Lissa - sorry I have been out of touch. Having trouble with the new app on my ipad!

I can't get to the last few pages of the thread in the new app yet but I think I can post. I have to have my gallbladder removed and my sleeve surgeon Reza Adib will be doing it. I meet with him Monday and I hope he can do it soon so I don't have another attack and I can heal before my next trip to India in December. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Looks like our thread is back in business. I hope you guys all find it again!

Yes - looks like we are back in business - I can now log on and move between pages on my ipad again!

Hey Misty - it might be time for an updated profile picture as you probably look quite different now?

Good luck with your gallbladder op - hope it solves your other issues.

Hi all- it's Lissa. Wow this new site is the pits! I tied and tried to login under the old me but it wouldn't work and when I tried to log the issue on the site it came back with an error code. Anyway this is me :) looking forward to meeting up with Sue and Susan tomorrow!! Hope you are all well! Cheers Liss

Post this in the Assistance forum which is at the very bottom of the forum list and they will sort it out. I bet it is because you changed your name on here and maybe it got confused.

I am having nothing but trouble with this new site. Why do good things get sooo messed up, when they should be left alone??!! I can't quote, pm or subscribe at present, and have lost all my old subscriptions... I've complained/asked for help, but no response over a couple of days... I guess they are busy.

On a much brighter note, had Breakfast and endless cups of coffee and tea with Lissa and Sueocco... Nearly 4 hours went in a blink. It was like catching up with old friends, although we'd never met before.

Hopefully next time we can get more Sydneysiders and visitors to join us. I'll try to post a photo, but given all the other problems I'm having don't expect I'll be able to.
