Just wondering if there was anyone from Sydney on this site. Where you had or are having your surgery and how you went with it all.

Hi Aussie Esta, go to thread called Attention Aussie Sleevers. Lots of Australians from all over. I am in Brisbane but there are people there from Sysney too. Look forward to chatting with you.

Hi there. I'm from Sydney and got sleeved on the 1st of July at St. George Private by Dr. Ken Loi. I am looking for fellow support sleevers as well.

Hi there,

Hi Everyone! My name is Mel, I had VSG in November 2013 and am almost at my goal weight of 65kgs, which will be a total of 40kgs lost :)

I had my surgery with Dr Candice Silverman in Coolangatta and she was fantastic!

I have a YouTube VLOG about my VSG journey, my channel is LittleAussieMel. I am also organising a huge VSG Meet and Greet event in Sydney on 10th October 2014. It will be a great night to meet other people celebrating their new lives post WLS.

The website for the event is http://www.wondersleevesdownunder.com It is FREE to attend the land portion, or there is also an optional harbour cruise that you can buy tickets for.

Check it out, there are people attending from all over Australia and New Zealand.

:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
