Upcoming Sleeve Surgery - Oh and Hi! I'm new!



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

It's damn near impossible to find an Aussie forum for weight loss surgery!! OR am I just not looking right?!!!!

Anyway...

I have my surgery on the 8th April this year, and super excited and absolutely terrified in one go!! HaHa!

Just looking for fellow Aussies who've had this surgery. I'm going through Northshore Weightloss in Sydney and would LOVE to hear form others who've used the same centre.

Have you tried looking in the social groups? Also there is an area in the forum with topics for pretty much everywhere it seems.

There is an Australian thread called Attention ! Australian Sleevers, here at Vertical Sleeve Talk. Have a look in the 'Forums' tab?????

Look forward to seeing you there

Hi Shyne, I am Aussie and I use gastricsleevesupport.com which is an Aussie site. I think I saw your name on there.

I am April 23rd at St Georges Private in Sydney. Scared and excited too!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
