Hi there, I live in WA - but at the top end, so although Perth is my capital city, by kilometre I am actually closer to Brisbane.

I had a band to sleeve revision 10 days ago in Perth. I am back home now and have lost 4kg - only 1 kg away from double digits...wahoo!!

Hi, What is an omega loop pass and who is your surgeon in Perth? Did you have much success with the sleeve?

Simply put an Omega Loop Gastric Bypass (also known as a 'mini' gastric bypass) is a cross between a sleeve and RNY... it's not quite as agressive with the malabsorbtion but does incorportate some.

Also its virtually completely reversable...

I can't answer the other two parts of your questions lol sorry!

Great answer, my surgeon is Dr Kevin Dolan, he is awesome. Unfortunately I have no is stance or restriction left from the sleeve, I lost 42kgs but have put it all back on, I'm sure a lot of it was my fault though

How long ago did you have your sleeve? unfortunatley WLS isn't a permanent fix and weight does come back after a while (or so my surgeon says) if not balanced correctly.

Another factor which I was told contributes to it is age.

Hi fellow Aussies,

I thought I'd say hello again and see how you're all going. I broke 100kg this morning, so I am a happy camper! Only 25kg to go...but to be back in double digits was my first goal, so I am pretty chuffed....good luck with all your journeys!
