Ur not a failure. Do not be ashamed. I'm in the same boat as u and even though I can give u advice I feel exactly the same. It's hard to rise above the mental stuff. I'm in the process of looking at a revision of my revision as I've had advice that it was not done correctly. I had this surgery as a tool to combat my eating addiction and even though I exercise regularly and eat accordingly it ist won't budge. Maybe it's time u went back to ur wls and get it checked out too. Good luck. Big hugs from me to u.

Hi all I had sleeve surgery in Jan 2014 and I am now 2 kg more than when I had the surgery. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

Sitting at the Mi Doctor hospital waiting for surgery. Very nervous

Are you Monday or Tuesday? Glitter is Monday and so is Shersun. I'm Tuesday and so is Leigh Anne. Good luck Don't forget me. I'm Tuesday too! I'm sooooo excited. I'm flying out this morning!

Wow Kat that's amazing I can't wait. The band life for me was torture for 14 yrs . Can't wait for the start of this new chapter. I fly out today. I will keep you posted. Let the loss begin!!

My surgery is Tuesday also. Good luck!

Thanks kelliv I sure will

No private health and as I don't have any health issues other than my weight the surgeon would not do it in a public hospital

Thanks for the encouragement ! I've been on this site for a couple of weeks only just found the Aussies. It's a great forum and I have learnt a lot. I'm flying out tomorrow so today is packing day. I'll keep u posted. And congrats in your success. I'd love to meet up with fellow sleeves after I return.

Hi all u Aussies! I'm from the Gold Coast. I have had a band for 14 yrs and am having it revised on Tuesday! Omg I'm do excited! I'm actually going to Mexico! I went to the doctors here and they wanted $25000 to do the revision! I got an early release of my super and I'm getting it done in Mexico for a total of $6000 including flights for me and my partner. I have done extensive research and I'm not worried at all. I suppose because I have had surgery in Bangkok also I sort of know what to expect. I'm glad I found some more Aussies on here!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I have my revision surgery on18th. Fly to san Diego on 16th. Just started packing! One more day in Aus then I'm off for my new adventure. Not nervous just excited! Did update my will though just to be prepared! Lol. Can't wait only 2 more sleeps till I'm at the airport! Bring it on!!!

Hi all I have a band revision to a sleeve on feb 18. I'm so excited! Hope all goes well for you all and keep us all posted on ur progress!

OMG gmanbat u both look absolutely fantastic! U look so much happier and younger!! Well done! It must be amazing for you to have done this journey together . Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the meal plans guys ! The variety looks great. Powdered peanut butter?? Omg! That sounds awesome! I had a band for 15 yrs and practically lived on mashed potato. I can't wait to be sleeved and be able to eat healthy food. My fitness pal also seems like a great tool as well.

Congrats! That is just amazing!

You have stunned them into silence? I would love to see a before and after of u. I believe that maybe u need to see them again also. A couple of things I have experienced when I was first successful with my band was that everyone who saw me regularly didn't really notice the change and I'd lost 60 kg. but those I hadn't seen for ages didn't recognise me. The other thing is I still always felt big. I had to keep looking in the mirror all the time to remind myself that this was now me. Ps my band has now failed after 15 yrs and I am getting sleeved in 6 days! Omg I can't wait.

Hope all is well

Good luck! Let us know how u go

Can u guys please share your typical meal plan so we can compare? I will be sleeved in 6 days! Thanks

Hi eggwithlegs. I'm from an aussie too. When did u have ur op? How come it was free?

Thanks ag88 I'll keep u posted

I'm getting more nervous and having weird dreams about the surgery. After all the surgery I have had I can't believe I'm so worried. I'm sure the flying half way around the world and back on top is just getting me anxious!

Only 7 days to go and I'll be on my way from the land down under!!

@aussiekey I'll be there at the hospital but I'll be using Dr. Ortiz.. sure we'll bump into each other either there or at the hotel! Best of luck to you! Can't wait to meet you. I'm excited!

Can't wait to meet you all
