Brisbane GP Recommendations post Gastric Sleeve in Mexico

[Nic88 1]

Hi All,

I was sleeved 5 days ago in Mexico and will be heading back to Brisbane tomorrow (YAY)!! I am looking for a GP recommendation for follow up care upon my return. I live in the Mt Gravatt/Holland Park area but would be willing to travel if anybody knows any supportive, knowledgable GP's that support bariatric surgery and take the time to listen properly to any concerns.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Nic

Ps. Feel free to ask me any questions about my experience in Mexico.

Hi and Congratulations!

I am on the Gold Coast, so it could be bit far ....

Have a look at this Forum: http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/402-australia-local-gastric-sleeve-support/

Plus this thread on Brisbane September 2016:

I am sure there will be someone who can help you with local GPs, Bariatric Specialists, Dieticians etc.

Good luck and safe travel home
