He was okay...i didn't interact with him much.. he did my initial lapband surgery and then he left the clinic... so i was transferred to my current surgeon who looked after me after my band.. and he also just did my sleeve 6 weeks ago...

You should be okay....and mater is a good hospital so aftercare should be good...

How are you doing though? Nervous as hell i bet lol

What!! Thats crazy expensive!!

Is that out of pocket or with health insurance??

I was quoted 21k without insurance and 6k with, that includes everything, surgeon and hospital and anesthesiologist.

Who is the surgeon? What hospital?

Oops and a bad typer. I am a South Aussie scheduled for sleeve 21 July. My out of pocket will be about 3K. So excited, but little nervous. Nice to find some other Aussies about to do the same.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
