Hi Big Damo!

Welcome. I'm being done 22 October. Same place, same doc (why does batman come to mind??).

I saw the psyche yesterday and my dietitian appoint. is in October.

If you're interested in meeting others, come along to the Brisbane get togethers. They are held once a month and you get to meet some people from here and all have been done or are going to be done.

Hi Damo...

congratulations on making the best decision EVER..... you won't know yourself... I live an hour south of Rockhampton and have found this web space to be fantastic as there doesn't seem to be many locals around here with the surgery...

Its good that i only have to go to rocky to get fills and follow up... are you able to find that locally or are you having to travel to bris??

anyways... good luck... you won't regret it..

hi Thinner

thanks for the kind words

I am getting it done in Brissy because Dr Copps who comes up here to Mackay every 3 months has just done his surgery visit so i missed out. so rather than wait till right on Xmas i asked if it were possible for me to get done in Brissy at his usual surgery. Not dramas on thier end if i was ok with it so i said..........Bring it on !!!! so off to Brissy i go.

as for fills i will have his support when he is in Mackay and i believe that there is also another Dr in Mackay who takes care of fills/unfills in between his visits.

Mackay is over an hour away from me but i dont care. Like i said to the nurses when i had my consult...........I'd drive across the country if it meant getting the proper support needed.

the other time constraint was that i am paying via my super so i still have to get the approval process done which i understand takes max 3 weeks so that will give me plenty of lead time

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
