Hi. I am from the Gold Coast. I had my sleeve done in Brisbane by Dr Reza Adib. He is great I would recommend him to anyone. I have really struggled since my surgery with nausea and vomiting and am starting to learn that there are things I just cannot eat. Rice is the worst. At least I am losing weight which is one of the reasons I had the surgery in the first place. I believe at the moment it's just trial and error.

Hi, I'm in NSW and getting sleeved in October. It's been a 2 year research project for me. I was originally going with the lap band, but have decided sleeving in the best solution for me. I'm ready to change my life and be healthily fit and active again.

Looking forward to the journey and sharing my experience.

Hi I'm new to this thread and having my surgery on 4th March. I'm with DR Victor Liew having the Mini Bypass. I nervous about the recovery but excited as well. I have come to realise that my weight holds me back psychologically and now that I'm working for myself I am desperate to shed my fat skin and let the real me shine through. I'm in Brisbane but having the surgery on the Gold Coast. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you

Im not sure there is anyone still here who has had their surgery already? I'm having my RNY next friday and if all goes according to plan I have been told I can start introducing pureed food at the two week mark but each surgeon and dietician has their own reccomendations from what I can gather. How did you cope with the pain after surgery? are u feeling good and have you noticed a drop in weight yet? sorry for all the questions.....

      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.
