Perth is the capital of Western Australia. I'm in Sydney, so no help for you at the moment, but I'm actually looking into moving to Albany sometime this year.

There is a couple users from wa I think

One is Kazza wa, I think another is Seth, you might try looking through the other Aussie threads and by reading you can mostly work out where they are from. Then just private message and invite them to chat in your thread :-)

Hi Sunette

Yes so far so good, op went ok. I am stil on the liquid but transitioning to the soft fod stage which hasn't been too good but I am taking the gret advice from this site & now am starting to recoginze the signs but I will get it all eventually. The great thing is have lost 10 k since surgery. It's a huge learning experience, went to the shops with my friend today, I ordered a smoothie & looked at all the food & sort of wished I could have some but was not even hungry, I then went to check out all the lovely clothes I will be able to buy soon........yeah !!!

Have you had your op yet ? I am a newbie too but we can help & support each other if you want. I am in Jane Brook, where are you?

Hi Sunette,

I am 10 days away from surgery and having it done by Dr Yong at Joondalup Hospital. I'm just hoping the nurses strike doesn't put the op back!!!!!

Are you done/being done??? Happy to help in any way. I am half way through Optifast preparation pre-surgery and doing quite well.

Hi no I am very very new. Haven't even seen the surgeon yet. Will see him next week. Hopefully I won't have to wait to long for surgery date. Good luck to those that is having your op done in the next few days. I hope it will all go well and I soooo envy you. If your op is scheduled to be in the public sector you might be affected by the nurses striking at the moment. The private hospitals are not striking so all good there. Please keep on telling me/ us how you are going.

Hello I just joined here today but I'm a perthite being sleeved on the 16th of April by the fabulous dr Alan Thomas at SJOG.

Who are you going to see?

There is also a secret Sleevers group on Facebook and we have a perth meet up in a few weeks if you'd like to come along and meet others on the journey :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
