Woohoo I'm now on the other side! Aka the "losers bench"!! Surgery was about 9 hours ago, and I giggled when the surgeon said it went like the typical "bread and butter" case without complication. (We were a bit worried due to old scar tissue in my abdomen). Yes, there is pain. But there is also friendly pain medication, thankfully! I am thinking of those of you having your surgeries so I also, and I suppose I should probably cross over to the post-Op threads now for future posts. See you all there! ????

Hey! im july the 4th and also an aussie! from sydney Oh wow! How exciting! I'm on the south coast. Having my surgery at Nowra Private Hospital. It's so exciting to finally be here after a 6 month journey through all the pre-Op assessments. I'm nervous for the recovery period at the moment though. I've got a 2 year old so I'm hoping that I'll still be after to manage with her after the first week post op (when hubby goes back to work). I'm new to this forum so I'll have to read about expected recovery times. I've got 4 weeks of work for my recovery it's nice to have a fellow aussie in here! Will have to keep in touch and see how you're doing afterwards! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

July 4th! Only 3 sleeps away. 3 rather hungry sleeps.... I'm so excited for this! A bit nervous, but I trust in in good hands. Is anyone else out there struggling with the liquid diet? Or are there different pre-Op diets out there? (I'm in Australia). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
