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 :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
