Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery Down Under

[Chevron 49]

A few days ago my stomach was stitched up by Dr George Hopkins in Brisbane, Australia.

Despite it having only been a few days and I'm still in hospital, the clothes I packed fit better now! No more stomach poking out. Very surprised.

I'd lost 3kg on the pre-op low carb diet (didn't do optifast).

Currently on free fluids. Going home tomorrow. Got a few weeks off work so when I go back I should be on the soft foods.

The first night was the worst, coming off the general anaesthetic - I was convulsing and a woman told me when they wheeled me into my room I looked crumpled and 16 (16 I wish!). The experience was so terrible that I begged the nurse to put me in a coma several times.

But now it's all great. My doc has come around a few times and even called me. And they do a great potato Soup.< /p>
