Hi all a new Aussie here. Is there anyone still looking at this thread that accessed their super? I'm booked for the 11/7/2016 and worried I've left the paper work to late due to some admin issues. I'd love to hear from anyone who has dealt with this recently.

Hi all, anyone know if there is a Gastric Sleeve support group in Albury or Wagga Wagga? Ta! I'm in a small country town not that far from these 2 larger towns and I just want to talk to people who can understand. I was sleeved almost a year ago. Loving this sleeve!

Hey all,

It's been a really long time so I thought I would drop a line and give you all an update.

I was sleeved on 4.9.12. My starting weight was 178kg. The sleeve didn't go well, I ended up with a leak and multiple surgeries, a three month hospital admission and an 8month at home recovery later and I was finally back on track. Since then my life has changed immeasurably! I am so much healthier and fitter than I ever have been!! I now exercise daily - run, yoga, tennis and ballet and I even love it now! My weight has stabilised (now stick around 68kg). I recently got married and am so excited to get "fat" legitimately with kid lets

For anyone who is honking about doing this, or is still in that tough early "holy crap what the eff was I thinking?" Stage, there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Things get better, you'll work hard to change your relationship with food and exercise and you will gain control over food you never previously had.

It is one of the hardest but most awesome things you'll do for your health and quality of life!

Best wishes to you all xx Liss

Well done. That's an amazing loss. Have you had any issues with loose skin?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
