Moving to Notting Hill VIC, Australia, need a Lapband doc, suggestions?



Recommended Posts

I was just informed I got approved for my work transfer to Notting Hill VIC, Australia and need suggestions on a lap band doc. I'm 9 months in so just need someone for any issues I may have or any checkups/fills I would need. And I'm from the US, so be more specific on who you are referring so I can figure it out :). Thanks!

Hi I'm in Victoria Australia and I just did a search how far notting hill is from me, about a 26 minute drive away.

My surgeon is professor Paul O'Brien and he has a Bariatric centre located in the suburb of glen iris, not too far from where you are either.

I would be more than happy to give you all the details and even call them for you to ask if they would take you on.

If interested let me know and I will pm you all the details.

I'm really happy with him and the centre and they are really friendly and very attentive.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I will definitely get in contact with you, I just found out today and need to get things straight to see my timeline, they are telling me 6 weeks and I'm super excited and kind of freaking out at the same time :) Fortunately I already have an appointment next week with my doc, and am currently in the green zone, but things change and I'm even thinking I may have to get an unfill for the really long plane ride (hope not, in a nice sweet spot right now), but lots of questions and I'll be PMing you soon :).

And hopefully not a stupid question, but I guess I can take some sort of public transportation to get there? I don't think I'll have a car and am trying to find an apartment in walking distance from work (literally emailing people right now :)), but I doubt I'll get a car.

Hmmmm not too sure about public transport or how far the closest train station is but again I'm happy to search all that out for you and I will call them now to make some enquiries for you if you like.

Ok here is their email address

Frontdesk@bariatric.com.au

You can make all your enquiries via email, they said they would take you on but there is a fee and I'm assuming you'll have some sort of medical insurance as then everything will be bulk billed.

If you want to know anything else yell out.

Thank you so much, maybe I can take you out to lunch or dinner when I get there for the help! I'll be in touch, once we know how long the VISA takes to get settled, I know for sure when I'll be moving. I can't wait!

You are very welcome and yes to meeting you once you settle down here. And if you do end up going to my Bariatric centre I will be more than happy to schedule our appointments at the same time so I can give you a lift.

Thank you, I appreciate it, I can give you gas (I think you call it petroleum) money too. I'm going to go ahead and email them to see if they need anything from my current doctor for the transfer.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
