I absolutely love it, i love eating small portions and having the binge purge taken away. Ive been an over eater on and off all my life, and having a tiny stomach is the best ever, I can eat most...

CHOCOLATE, plain ol chocolate, goes down so easily, i have to avoid it in the supermarket now, as just about everything else i try and eat makes me full and burpy but chocolate is so easy to eat ...

Ive just been told i have to go back and see the surgeon, which is fair enough, then i get told i have to go back every three months for a YEAR!!! how bloody expensive!!! $200 each time! How many...

3 nights in hospital and 10 days off work, i work in an office so was light duties anyway

Didnt your surgeon prescribe some gastric pills for you when you left hospital? i got some and forgot i had them as i was having bad reflux but i just take one in the morning and its fine now, may...

I was to scared to deviate from the optifast at all. We had reports of two surgeries in the past 6 months that were turned out on the operating table because it wasnt followed properly and the liver...

THanks guys, there does seem to be some not so great stories when coming out, but im just so happy, siting here sipping on my juice and dont really want that either. I just went to a mall, and there...

why would someone write bout dying on a site like this. I would still go through with it, cause most of us would die from weight related things if we didnt get it done!

I was dreading this part the most! Optifast for 14 days, i found cucumber to be my saving grace, i love cucumber with some salt, had that for lunches with a shake and bar, then a big breww i made of...

Wow, didnt realise there was this much discomfort after a week or so, i have horrible stabbing pain when i breath in also but im not out of hospital yet. Looking foward to making up some yummy...

So glad its done now, but have not ever felt that pain when i was in recovery, i had a hiatus heania aslo and the pain in my lung/ diaphram area was horrendous, like being stabbed, still have it now...

Oh and you would have had to do the 2 weeks slimfast, was it just the shakes and soups you were allowed or what else? That part is going to be soo hard!

OH thankyou so much. Yes i would love to bombard you with some questions. If i could!! I did my appointment with Meghan way back in august last year, as i hadnt taken out insurance yet. so ive...

Ok, thanks, wow thats longer than i thought from surgeon to surgery. I wonder if you can do the referal at the GP before the waiting period is up for insurance. Did you go through NQOSC??? And did...
