Hi,

I am on the northern Gold Coast.

Had my gastric sleeve done on 8th March 2016.

Bit over 3 weeks now.

No major issues at this stage.

Hello to Brissy and Gold Coast members :)

Pretty good, no major complains.

8 weeks post op, lost 12 kgs, happier, energy is coming back, life is good!

My main issue was acid reflux, but I got a stronger med for it, Nexium, and it is working!

On more solid food now, however I still prefer the softer foods.

Saving lots of money on grocery shopping :)

Just plodding along .... no regrets.

Have you had your op?

How are you travelling?

Cheers,

Margo

Hi I'm at Mt Tamborine so between Brisbane and Gold Coast. I had a sleeve in Dec 2013. I did great and lost 40 kg in the first year. I then had some other health problems which took a while to sort out and slipped back into my old ways. I am feeling inspired to do a start over and looking for support in my efforts. My sleeve saved my life and I want to use it again to improve my health.

Hi, in Logan. I had a lap band put in 8 years ago and am now looking at revision to sleeve or bypass. So far, I'm fairly sure it will be bypass. Just waiting for the PHI waiting period to be up.
