Anyone from Canberra



Recommended Posts

Hey Pure Darkness,

I spoke with two ladies while I was waiting an hour to see Dr Mosse- one lady who was being sleeved in July sometime and another who was there with her grandson, she was sleeved 12 months ago and had lost 38kgs. The only other people I remember from the waiting room was a lady in her 20s maybe with an older lady with her (maybe her mum) and I think she had already been sleeved. What time were you girls there? ☺

There is a a private Facebook page for people from Canberra who have had their sleeve or who are having. It is a good support page - we meet once a month at someones home. People going are at all different stages in this journey. If you would like to join please friend me on Facebook - I am Maureen Tolley. I just need to introduce you to the group and need to know if you have had it or planning to have the operation.

Cheers

Maureen

Thanks!!

Hi! I am a Canberran who will be getting sleeved in the school holidays between term 1 and 2 this year (at this stage) in Wollongong. Means I can stay with my parents during recovery :)

I'm in Qbn...

Sleeved by Dr Mosse in Feb last year...

Your best bet would be talking to whichever surgeon you're going with and seeing what they say...

They may be able to give you a date now...

I dunno how it works but I've no doubt they will...

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
