Melbournian sleevers are letting the page down!



Recommended Posts

So I noticed every other states sleevers threads are still going but Melbourne's keeps dying out. I'm really finding it difficult to find anyone with the same surgeon or even in Vic!

What I want you all to do (if you want) is to populate the below and hopefully it will keep us all in touch and encourage each other. And of course feel free to write anything else you want.

Ill start.

Surgeon: Mr Ray McHenry

Surgery Date: May 7 2013

Surgery weight: 110kg

Current weight: 95.3kg

I'm sure there are many more of us from Melbourne but most probably just get on and read without posting.

I unfortunately never posted but found this place very helpful.

Very good sounds like you have done very well.

I had mine with Dr Geoffrey Draper at Mornington on May 4th this year.

Was 120kg and am now 87kg and feeling very good.

Went through a rough time first couple of weeks but only gets better after that.

That's fantastic. I exercise only 3-4 times a week but don't lose as quickly as you. Maybe I need to step it up!

You're doing fine no need to go nuts and not always good to lose to quickly. I wasn't trying to lose that quickly it's just a result of having an obsession with crossfit and I also have a physical job.

As long as you're eating well and doing 3 to 4 days of any sort of fitness you enjoy it will all happen for you.

      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!
