Hi guys!

I'm very new to all this!

I'm currently 89kgs at a height of 165- BMI 32

I'm entitled to the sleeve!

My paternal grandmother had it done about 5years ago and went from 140kgs to approx 79! And she's advised me to have the surgery also to avoid all the crap she had to deal with in regards to dieting and programs etc. I've fluctuated with my weight for many years and was always a chubby girl.

Went through a stage where I got up to 96kgs then killed myself dieting and gymming it 6 days a week for approx 4 months. I got down to 74kgs.

Unfortunately I cut down going to the gym by 3 days and kept dieting, and put on 12 kgs within 2 months!!!!!!

Have put on a few kgs since then, but just always disappointed when the weight doesn't come off after watching what I eat.. S I've decided to do the sleeve..

My massive question is... Does anyone know what the go is with accessing early super in Aussie??

I spoke with my surgeons secretary, she told me my BMI had to be at least 45 and I'd have to pay it back with an interest rate of 28%!!!!!

Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks guys ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
