Perth Sleevers?

I'm actually from Kalgoorlie but had my surgery done in Perth.

Who's out there?

Hey guys. I'm from Perth as well. I go into tomorrow to get my sleeve done. Excited and nervous at the same time. Add me if you need an extra buddy ????????

Just joined up. Scheduled in for my sleeve on 1st November with Mercy Bariatrics.

Currently on the Pre op diet for 3 weeks. Going better than i thought it would be tbh.

Good to see fellow Perth people on here.

I'm from Perth too! Banded in November 2011 by Dr Dolan. Had a horrendous time with my gallbladder before it finally (9 months of sometimes daily attacks) being diagnosed and removed in August 2012. Never got back to the green zone after a total unfill for the surgery.

Decided to peruse my options and am beginning the process with Dr Taylor at Western Surgical at Hollywood Hospital. Hoping to be converted from band to sleeve in January. ☺

I just joined up here today. I have LOTS of weight to lose - always feel surprised when I see this huge woman in a reflection staring back at me. Avoid looking in mirrors whenever possible and have generally stuck my head in the sand. Use working fulltime, being a single parent and feeling stressed about everything as my excuse.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired so have been thinking of the sleeve now for about 3-4 months.

Finally talked to my GP and got a referral to Chris Couch. Anyone used him before? He's in Waikiki.

Haven't made appt yet but will soon. Main problem is how the heck I'm going to pay for it. No health insurance, so would love someone to tell me who they are with and what package they used. I'm too scared to ring up and ask in case they blacklist me when they realise I will be using for bariatric surgery and removal of wisdom teeth, lol. I also need glasses. Man, I'm falling apart.

Have also gotten onto public wait list but I understand it's about a 2 year wait and I just don't want to wait that long.

Would love peoples' stories on how they are going today after surgery, how the heck you stop stuffing your face at night-time when you are on the Optifast phase and you can't sleep because you are so hungry and is it really as great as everyone seems to say?
