My surgeon was Ray McHenry. I think the nurse I saw for my pre admission was the same. Good luck

4-5kg is great.

My surgery is with Dr Taylor at Concord Hospital. Wishing you all the best for this weekend and your new journey next week. I would be interested to hear about your 1st week post op. All the best.

I had my vsg on 19th September, I'm what they refer to as a lightweight lol! I had a great time, no problems what so ever. Lost 15 kg so far but have been in a 3 weeks stall :(

Just wondering how those who have lost lots of weight, have found the excess skin folds or if you have "shrunk" without needing further surgery to fix the excess...

TODAY is the day! Just having my cup of tea, banana Optifast shake and some Water ( to help hydrate my veins) nothing to eat or drink after 7.00am... Sometime after midday I will have my sleeve!!!! Feeling somewhat nervy still but really can't wait until I am on the road to recovery to a new and healthier ME! Weight ( on my scales) pre 2 week Optifast 98.5. Weight this morning after 2 weeks of Optifast 91.5!!!!! Will also weigh in on hosp scales, as mine are a couple kgs different, but they will be my gauge once im home....Sure do hope this is a sign of what's to come!

Good luck and best wishes to anyone else going in today... I'll be at Knox private, so if ur there too, we might meet! (Debbie S)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
