Hi all, I'm new to the group and will be having my Gastric By-Pass op in mid Feb. I have started the pre op diet and feeling OK, after 1.5 days, great effort...
G'day Alan, I had gastric sleeve a year ago yesterday at St George Private in Sydney! Wonderful decision it was too. I'm 71 kg and have lost over 40 kg. ...
When I went in, I took in some nice big t-shirts and draw-string shorts. If they will allow you to get around in those, they are much more comfortable...
Hi there, Long time, no write. Sorry about that but I have been extremely busy in my new life post op. I have just made my goal of losing 50 kg. Let me refresh...
Oh my ! you're looking very good Michelle. Good luck with your op. Re Gall bladder removal - my gall bladder was removed in 1989 with open surgery and yes, I...
Just had to say I just watched all the videos of your how to look good naked experience. I love that show and am so jealous. But what a makeover you received....
You look fabulous. What a great experience. You were very brave!!! Doesn't proper fitting bra's and undergarments make a difference. That is where we all...
I'd add earplugs to the list - between people buzzing for the nurse and the noise of the shared ward you are first on, I found earplugs to be priceless! ... ...
Hi Michelle, Congrats on your great results! I had my sleeve in October 2007 and ended up having my gall bladder removed in July 08. I really only had 1...
I don't know about for a by pass but for a sleeve I found that after I had anything to eat or drink (it was very small amounts) it was beneficial to go for a...
Handy tip: If they want to do some medical imaging (CAT scan, for example) make sure they don't tell you to drink 900mL of liquids (as they did for me... ...
Excellent Michelle well done! Ooo what a babe! Good to see there's another quite retiring type on this list. ... Yep I agree Sue. A good fitting bra is...

Hi Leah, I believe that everyone has to make the choice of surgery to suit their life. My surgeon explained the 3 options to me (sleeve, bypass and band) and ...
Thanks Sue, I've already chosen the sleeve over the band for many of the reasons you have listed. Another thing that freaked me out was the thought of being in...
Like every surgery there are risks. I know of one case where they had to take the sleeve to a by pass due to complications. Make the choice that you feel is...
Leah, your surgeon may be suggesting you change because of the procedure that he feels comfortable doing. I'd consider an opinion from another surgeon first if...
Hi Leah, Sue. Leah I'm not sure where you are and whether that might limit your choice but some of the risk is in the hands of the surgeon. Apart from their...
