Any Aussie sleevers?

[MooMoo???? 18]

Do you know if I can had lemon to my Water? Or will it upset the stomach? I decided to stop my anti nausea medication, I worked out that it was making me feel sick, I feel better not taking it.

I see my doctor tomorrow, I lol let him know

I was told that was ok, but limes taste better to me and I was told to try mint leaves as well.

Hi All

I discovered this site yesterday morning.

I was sleeved at about 1pm. So far, it has been very smooth.

The hospital staff could not be kinder and more attentive.

I have had a couple of incidents or dizziness and retching. Both when I got up to use the bathroom.

I think they are medicating me fairly heavily. But I am awake at 3am.

Sipping Water in 30ml cups and having small ice cubes.

Very excited about recovery and getting to my goal weight!

@Meg53 wow well done being so alert. Godod luck. Where did you have it done?

[Meg53 19]

Clement Tsang is my surgeon. At St Luke's.

Very happy still as at day 2. He gave me photos! All very clear and clean.

Very little if any pain or gas. Just sipping Water, walking a bit and resting.

Lots of googling of next stage food programs, and skinny clothes websites....

Will be discharged tomorrow. Not sure if I'll go straight home. Haven't told the children, or anyone but my husband, and I'm still woozy enough that they'll be asking questions.

They are all naturally slim, fit and organic. It'll be OH MY GOD MUM WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Reached that stage where this is my time for taking care of me in whatever way I can.....

@Brookebelynda.. good luck with that. I've been with HCF for 15 years with second top cover and they still made me wait a year.

I'm with bupa and they will pay minimum benefits. While this means I will be out of pocket at least I don't have to wait a year. I can and will access my super for out of pocket costs. My health will continue to get worse if I waited so I consider this an investment with a great return.

@@aussiecosy hope you feel as well as I have done over last 30 hours.

Still tough work sipping the Water, have to take it very slow....but I guess a smaller stomach is what it's all about. I used to glug a litre in a go. Plus all the food.< /p>

Take good care all

Hi aussiecosy

They took me in to a prep ward where I got changed at 12. At about 12.30 I was moved to just outside theatre. The anaesthetist came in and put the needle in. Next I knew I was in recovery, probably about 2.30. Then up to my room about 3.30. Very fast really, all a bit blurry. Last night was a daze.

I think I have been very lucky, but I think lots of people find it straightforward.

Do hope you do well.
