| Hi Kylie , I have had lap band revised to gastric bypass and all my hunger and sickeness woes are gone. The secret with eating vegies and meat is the texture, try and use a slow cooker and you will find it much easier to get your important nutrients, good luck lyn |

| hi anyone been sleeved by dr craig taylor, mater?? just wondering how it/he was. thx |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Udgula26 I am being sleeved by Mr Michael France on the 26th August. He is very popular in Adelaide an probably the most experienced I have found in my research. He is a wonderful caring man, and I highly recommend you see him. Though he has become very popular and I believe he is booked out until January 2010 at present. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can any one advise on a surgeon in Adelaide who does the sleeve procedure? The only reference i can find to a surgeon is Dr Michael France? Has anyone seen Dr France before? or can any one offer any suggestions??? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Debbie, that is such a shame.... and it isn't the reason most of us have the surgery - we want to eat less and better. I haven't lost any weight for about 6 months now.... i am considering trying Nu Shape again.....$$$ but i figure it would be better than eating the junk, which i am so tired of eating! How is the cut back for you going? do you find it really hard to gauge how much you should be eating - i know i do! Kylie |

| Hi kylie , yes i have the sleeve as well ,But i can eat more then i should be able to most days, And yes i to eat the junk. And now am trying to eat every 3 hours and exercise most days and cut tight back on the junk. But as hunger is a big part of it life sux. |

| Hi Debbie, i should rephrase what i put - i am the first patient my surgeon has had with these problems. As for hunger.....some days i am hungry and others i am not. The sleeve for me isn't a band... it was a total removal of part of my stomach, so i physically can't eat as much. As for weight loss i was 125kg and i am now between 91kg and 95kg. Mostly because i eat highly refined foods (junk) as it doesn't get stuck and i can eat it without feeling ill. Bit sad considering that isn't why i had the surgery. Fibrous veges make me want to throw up as does meat :-( |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OH yes i started out 115kgs 2 years and 9 months ago....iam 98 today.......sux | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi kylie, i have been sleeved around 10 weeks. and my problem is iam as hungry as i was pre banding..... is it me or are there others out there with the same problem.? if i didn't know better i would say my sleeve is way to big , and have to cut back to so little food and forever being hungry is sending me crazy . lucky no leaks or kinks...just hunger......Debbie | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi there - my name is Kylie and i had the Sleeve done just over a year ago......i have heard a lot of people say it is great, unfortunately i have had a lot of issues....i have a 'kink' in my sleeve which basically means i have been under the knife a few more times in order to try and correct it. After being in an out of hospital for the last year my surgeon has said i now need to look at more surgery,.... this time a bypass. Please consider the sleeve very carefully.... i am the first patient who has had serious complications, but if i could do it over i think i would have gone for a band..... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Fiona - I would really love to hear from you and your mum as to how you are getting on I am booked for sleeve surgery on the 25th and would love to have a chat regarding this with either of you. Thanks Colleen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi - has anyone had the sleeve done after banding has failed? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi everyone can someone please recommend a surgeon who does the sleeve in Adelaide? I was going to go ahead with the band, i havent made a commitment to it yet, but someone suggested looking into the sleeve and what I can see from what I have found and what people are saying on here, I might be in a better position to have a sleeve? Thanks so much !!! |

| Hi There not sure if the sleeve is the same as the lapband but i am getting mine done by DR Chambers in mildura next month he charges $3000 but you can go back and see him as many times as you want for free, he is really good but be warned he is very blunt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi there Diana ... how long ago did you get the sleeve done and how much weight have you lost so far .......and how are you feeling ......from Caz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does anyone know of a good experienced surgeon in Newcastle or the Hunter Valley? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have been to see a Dr on the Gold Coast who has been doing the sleeve. I was originally going to get a band but did some more research and decided that sleeve is the best way for me. I was worried about the problems I had heard about the band. Dr Nolan is his name and has done a number of sleeves on the Gold Coast. Nice guy and staff are great. When I went for my consult there were a few patients there who had sleeve and they were raving about it. I am booked for a few weeks time. Cant wait to lose some weight and keep it off. Kath |

| Hi Carolina This is Fiona - we have spoken a few times. I am now 14 months post banding, and have lost almost 35Kg. Almost at goal!! My Mum had a sleeve with Dr Durmush yesterday and is doing brilliantly!! Email me if you like, and I'm sure Mum won't mind chatting to you when she's out of hospital. He is the most caring surgeon I've ever met (and I've met a few through work!!) and I know Mum is as happy as I am. She is with NIB and I am with HCF but they were old policies. If you are thinking of getting health insurance now you need to check which level of cover includes weight loss surgery as a lot of funds have excluded it at everything but the top level since it has become more popular. Glad to see you're still interested...honestly, its the best thing you could do for yourself!! HUGS, Fi |
