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

That is my exact concern!! Has anyone heard of that happening - them going in and not doing the op?

Hi Lila, I had read on another forum that a young woman's surgeon refused to operate as her liver wasn't reduced enough. So she woke up with all the pain of surgery but no sleeve. To make matters worse she then got sick (I think phuemonia?) and spent 21 days in hospital. She was devistated. Poor love. Just stick to your program and you will have done everything that was required of you. You can't control much beyond that I'm afraid!

I was finally approved for my super too! I'll hopefully be getting sleeved at the end of September. Should find out tomorrow :-)

Hi puppyphat, Lilly, & others - sorry it seems a few of us are having a rough go of it this week- maybe something in the stars?

Tonight I ate 2.5 serves of lasagne, three mini redskins, three mini time outs and three mini crunchies!!! Oh and dread of all evil- a can of regular Pepsi!!!

I feel so sick in stomach and just awful all round it was that binge behaviour just popping up out if the blue!! I just couldn't feel sated- I'm a smoker and chain smoked all night too...

I feel so bad like even if I get the sleeve I'll probably f* it up somehow!!!!

First time in weeks I've felt like this and I even was do good I went for a freezing long swim yesterday.... Jeez I see the psych Thursday so maybe she'll ask me "did you learn from it?" right now I haven't learned jack but maybe I'll feel better tomorrow...

Anyone who says no need for sleeve just diet and exercise has obviously never experienced this insatiable garbage mouth and the guilt that comes with it....

Thanks for letting me vent too, at least it keeps my fingers out if my mouth!!! Lol

Oh no!!!! I did this so badly leading up to surgery. I had my initial appt with surgeon early july. Didn't start pre op diet until August. The entire month of july I was having "last meals" and I was gorging myself so badly and justifying it because of impending surgery. I know exactly how you feel. I was only after I looked at my empty plates (yes, plural) after a lunch I thought about how many cups of food that was, it was about 8. Then I had a twin pack snickers because I felt sad. It made the pre op diet so much harder because I increased my intake so much, prior, that i felt so hungry when i had to be on liquids. I knew this the whole month of July, and did it anyway.

Thank goodness for the sleeve for saving us from ourselves.

Amen Sister!

I was sleeved 10th May 2012 & have been lucky enough to lose 30kg so far, I have a question for the longer term sleeves say 3 months sleeved & longer. My question is do you ever get hungry? I'm hungry all of the time infact I've felt hunger since day 1 of the procedure. The upside though is I still get full really easily, the other upside is that my weight loss has now slowed down to about a 1kg loss a fortnight. I only needed to lose 40kg preop so I figure being 10kg out with a very steady loss is a good thing. I now eat whatever I want just small amounts and I've also been on the grog a few times. Life's awesome!!

Maybe this is a part of my problem too? I did about two weeks of last meals and now I am kind of paying the price for it hopefully my body will get used to this soon...

Yep that is my nightmare! Might call the dietician again today...might stop my fears or give me a chance to correct them...

Thanks Cookeeeeez just going to keep positive

Hi everyone- so I woke up today without a headache and not starving (yay). I ended up calling the dietician who has sent me through a full plan without any shakes in it- woot! I have a banana smoothie for brekky, then 100g lean meat and lunch and tea with two cps of veggies and two pieces of fruit through the day. I am so relieved !

Anybody want to see the pics my surgeon took of my stomach? I put them on another forum and no1 else seems to have been given any.

I wouldn't mind puppyphat! I love that sort of thing
