Hi I am from Sydney I had lap band in 3 yrs ago initially I lost 18kg from 101 kg but started having problems eating even after getting band loosen a few times I have regained 10kg. I have seen surgeon and will have band removed 6/6/16. I have a lot of health probs Diabetes 2, hypertension and cholestrol etc I take stacks of meds. Surgeon suggested me to have a gastric bypass in which I was happy to go ahead but my GP is against it saying Gastric Sleeve would be the better option because gastric bypass makes it harder to absorb Vitamins. I don't know which way to go?

Hi There,

I am having lap band to rny surgery revision with Dr Liew on the Gold Coast. If you have top private health insurance he accesses gap cover, so the only out of pockets I have is the anaesthetist (around $500) and his consultations which are $100 each. He is also happy to email and answer any questions you have so you get to have a fair bit of contact. He doesn't have a dietician or psychologist attached to his practice so he will tell you what to do before and after however you'll need to access a dietician yourself. He was very highly recommended and he has great personal skills. I was quoted $4k to $8k with everyone else too. Mines on 4th March, when's your?

i had my gastric bypass 2015 in Brisbane by George hopkins was 110kg and now 58kg .

Need to sort out your eating habits before surgery you may be an emotional eater , get to see a psychologist who specialises in biatric patients

I had my surgery in October last year completed by George Hopkins also. Best decision I made in my entire life. Started at 106.5kgs (size 20) now 61.8kgs (size12). BMI is now "normal". Life is good...health is now impressive too. Good luck to everyone in this thread on their individual journey. Always available for support

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
