Different hemisphere, but the same. Just because you are north of the equator and your seasons are different doesn't mean freak outs don't happen. And you should. But I would not have changed anything.

Yeah true. Those feelings are universal, no matter where in the world you are.

We have started autumn here. So with my surgery in two weeks i am a little worried my "cold weather head hunger" will kick in.

How far out are you?

Helllloooooo !!!

I am on the Gold Coast, QLD since 2002.

Before my move, I lived most of my life in Sydney (Bondi Beach) ....

My Sleeve was 7 weeks ago, and the worst thing for me was thinking and worrying about it Pre-op.

I'm still here, healthier and happier!

@, congratulations ! PM me if I can be of any help.

@@aussiecosy, where in QLD are you?

@@KindaFamiliar, love your posts and your sense of humour :)

Any more Aussies around on this site ?

Say hello, please :)

You neglected to mention my rugged good looks, my roguish charm and my excellent kissing skills...

I'm a little offended...

Greetings from Dubai!! I'm scheduled for a sleeve April 30th.. I too have mixed feeling but mainly excited.. Like with every surgery I think what freaks me out the most is the GA. Other than that I think I'm prepared (well I hope I am) for all post-op side effects.. Wishing you (and me) good luck !

Best of luck OP. My sleeve is the bomb and was the best decision I ever made.
