Hi. I'm going in next week for surgery with Dr Greenslade at Greenslopes. Has anyone any experience with him? Thanks :)

No, but I've heard good things about him. Good luck with your surgery. Was done by Dr Copp who was working from the same office one day a week, but only operates at Ipswich. I would have preferred to be done at Greenslopes as it is a great hospital. Let us know how you get on. Have you looked at thread called Attention! australian sleevers???

Thanks :) My GP went to a seminar he held and was impressed with him, so.... That's where I ended up. I felt comfortable when I went to see him. I'm glad you've heard good things!

Let us know how your surgery goes and f you ave any questions afterwards. It's definitely a earning process. Nearly 3months out I am still getting used to my new reality, but never once have I regretted my decision. My sleep specialist and orthopaedic surgeon are based at Greenslopes.

Dr Greenslade did my sleeve last week (31 Oct) at the QE11 hospital. He is lovely and very good. I can't tell you how many nurses commented on how good a surgeon he is. I'm very happy with my surgery - 9 days post and no problems :-)

Old thread singing the praises of Dr Justin Greenslade

He was my surgeon too at Greenslopes, no complaints here, he is fantastic, nurses, other Drs etc all say fabulous things about him.

He is not only very approachable but has a heart and a beautiful caring nature. I am so glad I found him.

Had a different surgeon years ago when I had a band put in who I would not only, not recommend, but strongly advise people to stay away from.

Am I allowed to name that surgeon on here?

Can anyone who has surgery with Dr Greenslad give me any tips on QEII?? I'm booked in for just over a weeks time, and just wondering how the post op experience will be... Hate the idea of staying in hospital for any longer than necessary...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
