Anyone from Canberra



Recommended Posts

Hey Pure Darkness,

I spoke with two ladies while I was waiting an hour to see Dr Mosse- one lady who was being sleeved in July sometime and another who was there with her grandson, she was sleeved 12 months ago and had lost 38kgs. The only other people I remember from the waiting room was a lady in her 20s maybe with an older lady with her (maybe her mum) and I think she had already been sleeved. What time were you girls there? ☺

There is a a private Facebook page for people from Canberra who have had their sleeve or who are having. It is a good support page - we meet once a month at someones home. People going are at all different stages in this journey. If you would like to join please friend me on Facebook - I am Maureen Tolley. I just need to introduce you to the group and need to know if you have had it or planning to have the operation.

Cheers

Maureen

Hello! I'm new to this! I have an appointment to see Dr Mosse at Canberra Bariatric next month to begin my journey. I'm hoping to hear from others who have been sleeved by him.

Thanks!!

I'm in Qbn...

Sleeved by Dr Mosse in Feb last year...

Your best bet would be talking to whichever surgeon you're going with and seeing what they say...

They may be able to give you a date now...

I dunno how it works but I've no doubt they will...

      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.
