questions about the beginning of sleeve process in au
ShinyLady replied to anewmee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm in Aus too. My surgeon required an initial consult, wait a month (to think about it and research) and then could book at next consult. I had routine blood tests taken before surgery. My surgeon also required dietician visits. (Just one before... and each stage after). I was given the number of an exercise therapist and psych but these were optional. We are not required to have the same level of diet and psych prep as in USA as is automatically covered by private health fund (if you have one that covers it). Depending on your personal circumstances/medical history, your surgeon may require you to have other tests e.g. sleep apnea, ECG. They usually also require the scope (via throat to check out stomach). Some do it a couple weeks before but mine did this at the beginning of surgery while I was under general. They seem to vary by personal choice on Pre-op diet. Usually Optifast 2-4 weeks before surgery. My time is NOW! -

Extra calcium will be post-op as you can't get enough through food then. (Probably a couple of weeks after.) You're already getting extra now through Optifast. Cheers [emoji3] My time is NOW!

I wouldn't think so. The pre-op diet is mainly for liver shrinking purposes for ease of access to the op site. As long as you are sticking to the diet that shrinking should happen. Also you say next week... so there's a good chance you will lose more by then. I lost 4.8 (BMI 41) on the 2 week pre-op diet. My Dr was pleased with that. [emoji3] Good luck to you [emoji4] My time is NOW!

Average weight loss
ShinyLady replied to kidchick's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have chronic spinal stenosis + and grade 4 osteoarthritis in my knees and was steered towards G Sleeve due to the ongoing need for NSAIDS. 95lbs to lose. 52 yo. Cannot take NSAIDS with RNY so I also find it interesting that the back specialist suggested RNY. My time is NOW! -

Thanks, Ken -
I was told that if you're happy with the size you are when wearing a bra (boobs all propped up) then you only need a lift (they rearrange your own tissue), if you think they are too small in a bra... then you need implants. My time is NOW!
