Definitely! I got the dietician this Wednesday. All my post op appointments with dr couch have been free too I found that very interesting and great!

My friend was banded by dr couch she was very happy with him. I didn't realise you could get sleeved at Waikiki that's so much closer to home not that Murdoch is far away lol

What was your out of pocket expenses?

Hi deb,

Did you have to do a pre op diet? We are pretty similar in weight and have the same surgeon. I'm just a bit concerned about my liver being a problem cause it's too 'fatty'. Padovan has not asked me to start a pre op diet, other than clear fluids the day before surgery.

Hi Krystal.

I had dr Padovan, and he was terrific. I've dealt with a few specialists in my time, and he was the most 'normal'. Very understanding without being over the top.

I had minimal pain from the surgery, and am most impressed with his handy work!

I wasn't that happy with the care from the hospital (The Mount), but managed ok.

Where abouts are you from in Perth?

Ask any questions you would like to know. Myself and another lady (deb) were both sleeved by Padovan, so between us we should be able to deal with anything you need to know.

Cheers
