I've just joined this forum.

I'm from the Canberra area.

I was sleeved by Dr Mosse in late Feb.

I'm happy to answer questions or talk stuff through if anyone feels the need.

Hey Shellie..

Good luck with your sleeve..
You're in great hands with Dr Mosse. He looked after me really well. I've nothing bad to say about him.

I was done on Feb 25 (Wednesday) and was out of hospital on the Saturday morning. My recovery was virtually pain free. I gave the pain killers a bit of a work out on the Wed afternoon and the Thursday but was pretty much pain free by the Thursday afternoon.

You say you've plenty of questions...
Feel free to PM me any time...

I'll answer anything you can throw at me...

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
