Hi everyone

So excited today I'm going to see a reconstructive surgeon in Melbourne for my Excess skin removal initial consult. I had sleeve surgery in March 2016. I weighed 140.2 and I now weigh 87.2 heaviest weight was around the 160 mark. I have a lot of excess skin so really looking forward to this day!

Saw the surgeon, have decided to go with a breast lift, body lift & fix my arms. He said I'll be either a B or C cup which I'm happy with I don't want big breasts & I wanted to avoid implants if I could. I will need to go back to get legs done another time.

Congratulations for reaching this point! Who is your surgeon may I ask? I kinda wondered if the Aussie surgeons have equal experience to the USA ones? Most don't seem to have many pictures on their websites....

Also if it's ok to ask...any idea on cost?

I know this will be on the cards for me in 12mth.

Thankyou! Are you Aussie? Who did your sleeve? I had Adam Skidmore he was fantastic and has worked overseas & spoken at conferences overseas too!
I'm seeing Dean Trotter. Check him out on his website. He seems very good! I haven't got costs yet, waiting for the quote and therefore the heart attack

      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!!
