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

I'm getting sleeved on June 23rd in Rockhampton. Am in the throes of 8 weeks of Optifast, have lost 21kg in the past 6 weeks. Looking forward to being on the other side of my surgery.

That's awesome. I didn't have to do it either and I was so relieved! I can't believe one person had to do it for 8 weeks!

You poor thing. I know that you can hav gallbladder problems when you are losing a lot of weight. That's why we need to make sure we are having some essential fatty acids. Good luck with your recovery :-)

Thanks evryone. I'm still waiting for Dr Daoud to come and see me and tell me what he will do

Sorry about that Bec. You are a few months late compared to me with the gall bladder surgery. The good news is it is a trivial surgery. I hope you feel better soon.

Got a new haircut.

Mistysj your haircut looks awesome!

Thanks! I am back at my lowest weight and slowly inching down. Size 8 jeans in Australia sizes so size 4 US. Size 10C bra! Who would have thought? I started at a 20DD and should have probably been an E! About 3 kg from ultimate dream goal.

Hi All,

Another Aussie here. 3 and a half weeks post-op. Everything's going very well. Lost 30kg so far (7 weeks), and still dropping 2-3kg a week. Had a great experience with my surgical team, if anyone is looking for a surgeon in Sydney I couldn't recommend Circle of Care in Baulkham Hills (Dr Roy Brancatisano) more highly. The only issue I have atm is getting up to my nitritionist's goal of 1000 calories a day - I'm managing about 7-800, Any tips on this?

By the way, the stats to the left are a bit misleading, not accurate at all.

Rgds to all.

Tim
