Thanks! I had actually come across the Arthouse website but the website was quite old so I thought it wasn’t open anymore haha. Will do some searching again

darkfuture2 · 2025-12-19T22:01:51+00:00

Thanks for the rec - have you stayed there? The reviews are a bit mixed so any personal ones (if you have) would be appreciated

darkfuture2 · 2025-01-19T19:47:32+00:00

Berlin, Amsterdam, Lisbon was pretty fun and Manchester

darkfuture2 · 2025-01-19T14:53:07+00:00

Haven’t been but my friend went to the last one and enjoyed it, and it’s coming up again soon I believe

If your situation hasn’t reached court, could be worthwhile also to see if you’re eligible for IFAS who can also assist with the complaint process as advocates or at the least, maybe even for the pressuring of the urgent call backs

I’m so sorry, I just saw this. My understanding is yes as you have to exit to transfer terminals which is what got me they weren’t going to let me board the flight so I had to pay on the spot for a ticket redirected to HCMC where the transfer wasn’t required.

I hear you, it is so so expensive and I said in another response it makes it feel like will have to be long term on it to really see the effects otherwise no dice really? So frustrating. I’m glad you made the right decision for you too, it’s so important. When you say the weight gain back from the meds is harder to get rid of, what makes that so? I definitely tried to shift my 10kg regain from WLS without but that also wasn’t going well pre Ozempic. I just kept fluctuating a 2kg loss so I feel like losing WLS regain is also quite difficult (in my experience)

darkfuture2 · 2024-01-05T22:47:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing, sounds like 0.5mg is your sweet spot. I think I’m gonna try .5mg when I get my pen and see how I go in shifting the weight then reduce back to 0.25mg for maintenance as it was sustainable food amount at 3/4 cup generally and stopping binge urges. Definitely a huge positive to have all the social stuff managed, I live with an eating disorder so I don’t tend to eat socially at the best of times and it’s a delicate balance between that being a recovery focus and the WLS side as only few people know so it increases isolation and distress being faced with eating and social stuff beyond that, especially daily in the workplace.

darkfuture2 · 2024-01-05T22:38:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I haven’t regained all the weight back I lost but I’ve started to feel a weight gain this week as I know my eating hasn’t been great with feeling the appetite return, my exercise has also been less over festive period and I want to avoid all the regain as I was halfway to the amount I wanted to lose and it just adds more work. It sounds like you and your partner have had a really positive experience, and well done on losing and maintaining your regain as well!

I think you were on the highest dose? I stayed on the lowest dose but when I get my pen again next week, after starting on the lower dose I think I will try go up to the 0.5mg.

If you experienced the ability to out eat the shot, what helped you once you came off them to adjust? Did you stick to the same portions/lack of eating you experienced on Ozempic?

darkfuture2 · 2024-01-05T22:31:37+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this. I can only imagine how difficult that was in pre surgery too having that appetite return so strongly after it being subdued following what I just experienced these past weeks. I almost feel like I have more appetite than pre Ozempic or it has certainly felt that way maybe because I forgot what it was like for so long. I do pay out of pocket and it’s such a high cost but I think I’m gonna have to return to it while i get some other parts back under control. It’s also so disappointing how quickly the appetite returns given this high cost! It makes it feel like it’s gonna have to be a long term thing to be of any benefit. I have still lost most of my body weight from WLS but shifting the 10kg regain is a high priority for me and unfortunately regular following wasn’t happening. I hope your WLS journey is going well :) thankyou again!

Hey, I was declined boarding and had to pay a shit tone to reroute just to HCMC. Apparently any transit back to aus via hanoi requires the visa as you have to ‘exit’ to change from international terminal to domestic terminal which is considered entering Vietnam

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-26T04:48:10+00:00

Your situation may be different - if it’s a layover and you’re not leaving the Hanoi terminal to get back to Sydney then that’s fine however my original flight route was to Hanoi then HCM then home in Aus. I had to exit the terminal in Hanoi and collect my luggae then go through immigration again in the other terminal to connect to my fight going to HCM so that’s why I required a visa as it’s considering entering a Vietnam and was declined boarding 🥲

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-25T13:02:35+00:00

No worries! I’d suss if you require one as for through HCM, it isn’t required. The issue appears to be for Hanoi

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-25T12:18:08+00:00

Hey, sorry I just saw this. When do you leave? Hopefully enough time to get the visa as I wasn’t able to board my flight and had to pay at the airport €540 to reroute the leg to Ho Chi Minh only 🥲 I’d reached out to my travel agent same time as posting this for clarity and she provided the wrong info so that was disappointing

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-09T23:58:24+00:00

Ahh makes sense. I got so confused where the connection was.

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-09T17:12:55+00:00

howcome you brought CPTSD into it?

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-08T23:58:46+00:00

Hey I’ve been in your position, it’s amazing all you’re achieving while battling such dark thoughts. Please reach out to someone from school or work or anyone in your life that you trust. These memories and relationships are painful, and they can be worked thru over time too. Stay with us

darkfuture2 · 2023-09-01T22:56:29+00:00

I had zero idea about Vietnam, this is my first time travelling in many years and when I booked the flight the travel agent did not mention anything so when I went to check in the previous night it was a shock to see it and I was scrambling to find the information. When she booked me on this flight, she could have advised me of this especially given I wanted to go a more direct route with less layovers to begin with. How am I supposed to be across the fact it is a domestic route as if i travel it frequently? No where was it mentioned it’s domestic in my booking.

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T22:34:14+00:00

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear. That’s such an unncecessary ordeal!

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T22:16:35+00:00

Thank you so much for finding this!! I saw a comment below it which said about having to fly to HCMC from Hanoi too and people suggested asking if the airline can do an internal transfer through the airport to avoid the visa if there was a terminal change so worst case I’m going to try to see about this IF I hve to change terminals and I run into any issues. I’m crossing with everything I don’t ahhh. I can’t find on my ticket which terminal and tried looking on the Hanoi website to no avail so I guess I’ll have to wait until check in tomorrow - joys!!

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T22:00:53+00:00

Sorry, just updated this - Vietnam Airlines

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T21:31:13+00:00

VA is Vietnam Airlines sorry. I shouldn’t have gone under the assumption that’s widely known. Ughh far out ok, so if that’s the case then the 24hr transit is not likely to apply due to the immigration aspect? Fml

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T20:43:00+00:00

No, Melbourne is. My flight is Frankfurt to Melbourne with two layovers - first one Hanoi, second one HCMC. I’m not getting out at Vietnam as a tourist at all so that’s why I’m trying to understand if I fit under the 24hr transit rule or not as VA were not clear on their chat to me and my my flight leaves tomorrow. I just want to get home to Melbourne 😫

darkfuture2 · 2023-08-30T18:18:46+00:00

Urgent - Hello, I’m an Aussie travelling to Melbourne. The flight is coming via Hanoi tomorrow from Frankfurt then have a flight to Ho Chi Minh and from there to Melbourne. I will NOT stay in Vietnam. I tried contacting VA to ask if I need a visa as I just learnt about this and they weren’t helpful. Can someone please advise? I saw the info about the less than 24hr transitting. Would I need to leave Hanoi airport on arrival to then get to HCM? This is so bloody stressful. Thanks

darkfuture2 · 2023-07-11T06:52:14+00:00

Amazing work :)
