Perth Bandsters Get Together?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I have been considering this operation for some time now and have decided to go ahead with it my operation is on the 18th August 09, with Dr Kierath. I feel very nervous and would really like to be able to talk to people about my concerns. I really believe that a support group like this is exactly what myself and so many other people need.

Looking forward to speaking to some of you guys!.

cheers

Irene

Hi new folks!

The get together (which I called for at the start of this thread nearly two years ago) never quite happened... *sigh* I guess we were all just a bit too busy at the time. However, if anyone is game for it, I'm still interested. I'm working full time back in Perth now (was doing FIFO to the mines before, which is why I was rarely available), so should be able to make most times.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to chat, drop me a line :lol:

Hi Tegan. Are you north or south of the river? I'm south, but willing to travel.

To all our other Perth bandsters, let's get our act together and make this happen!

Fanny,

I'm flat out at work and uni but I'm sure I can find time to meet with you, hun! As long as I get some advance notice, I can move things around a bit. I could maybe do lunch too if it's close to my workplace (East Perth)... :)

Okay folks, how about 2pm Saturday 29th August at my house? We could have tea/coffee and band-friendly munchies and say hi to each other... Or we could pick neutral ground out somewhere. I live in South Lake, just off the Kwinana Freeway, so very easy to get to. What do you all think?

      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.
