Hello Fellow Aussies
I am living in Kalgoorlie, WA and I am researching WLS. I have already undergone stomach stapling i***** (when I weighed 212 kg) and I lost just 30 kg. Since then I have put on much, much more, and now I weigh about 262 kg, as I have recently shed 8 kg in 2 weeks, after some eating chnages. I have been told by a surgeon that I need to shed about 50 kg to be considered for the operation, which could be a tube gastrectomy. I am scared as I would hate to fail again. Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there.
Regards,
Jan

Hiya Norman,
I had my surgery done in newie in march. Dr Gani did my surgery at the John. You have done awesome on the weight loss. It's a while to go only on fluids hey? I am on purees now and attempting some soft foods, but I think I will back off on that as it hasn't gone so well. Will be seeing the dietician next week so will see what she has to say.
Cheers
Kylie

Hi Helen,
Well I know you posted a while ago now but I thought I would just say 'Hi'. I havent had my surgery yet, but hopefully it will happen on the 1/3/06. I am getting it done through the public health system so have been on the waiting list for nearly two years now.
Cheers Kylie

Hi Helen!
I wish I had found this forum sooner. I am a WLS post op from California and have been in Sydney for the past 3 weeks. I am leaving for Europe in the morning. Darn! It would have been nice to contact you.
Anyway, feel free to check out my profile and contact me if you want. I will be back in Australia again soon. I love it here!!!
