Hello I am 5 weeks post op with the sips surgery and looking for support and information. Would like to know what others are eating at this stage.

Well. I don't have any major health issues. And my surgeon is one of the best here in the Northwest. Dr. srikanth. So I can assume it all depends on the doctors and your health history. But I was surprised too cause I was assuming I'd stay at least one night. But I did all the test and passed exceedingly like the breathing test and cough test and Ofcourse a slew of other test s. So I got to heal at home. Which was best.

That is great. Please keep me posted on your weight loss. I will update you on mine as well.

Hello everyone ,

Just wondering if anyone has had the SADI surgery in Queensland by dr Free?

My dr wants me to have SIPS . Can you shed some light on your experience? I can't find anything on this online.

I am so happy I decided to have this surgery! No regrets at all. You will have foul smelling poop and gas, however, that's just the small part. I was a size 24 now down to a 12. I am 11 months out.

My last pre op appointment is 6/13. I go in for my scope on 6/10!

Yes. My doctor sent me home the same day! He said everything went well and I walked in at 5am had a 6 hour surgery and walked out at 7pm.

Thank you! Are you getting the Sips done? I am sooo happy I did this. And my family and friends notice how much more energy I have now than before. You won't regret it.

Actually losili, I was wrecking my brain deciding which surgery I should have done. Due to 250 cm (which isn't as bad as 100cm) rerouting of the intestines, I chickened out and decided to stay on the safe side without the intestine bit . I don't know honestly . Was even thinking of changing it last min . I've got my sugery booked for the 29th with Ian Michelle

29th July so I have time but they don't do Sadi in Melbourne . I found one doc who does it in Queensland (dr free) and he seems to be a younger surgeon than the others

I'm not a big eater but I love binging . I don't know how I'm going to get rid of this habit of binging on Snacks and other stuff

Well if your just getting the sleeve. I'm pretty sure you'll get satisfactory results. As I've seen other successes on here and my co-worker actually got the sleeve and lost 120lbs and have kept it off for 3 years now. You can't possiby overeat as it will make you feel sick, dizzy, or you'll just vomit. But you don't want to do that all the time since you can stretch your pouch and gain weight.

I find that I have more will power to resist eating junk food. But, I think because I'm not as hungry I'm better able to handle it. Before surgery if I wanted fast food junk food I had no will power what so ever and I just ate what I wanted. But, I think you'll do well. Just be positive.

Thank you for your words of encouragement .

As I said , I'm not a big eater . I'm a binger. Apprently you can binge yoir way through like snack or drink liquids .

I hope I go well with that.

Do you know how much of your intestines were bypassed ?
