I'm looking for a support group in Singapore. anyone out there?

Welcome to LBT. I am not from Singapore, but thought I would bump this for you to see if we can get you a response from someone who is.

Susan, thanks for responding to my note. I just moved to Singapore last September. I am planning on having the lap band surgery in early July. There is a great hospital here that does it. Just need a support group to help me through.

Hi, I'm new based in Batam and trying to schedule surgery in Singapore with Dr. Ravi. Any information you could share with me would be appreciated good hosp, Doctors ect.

Just got your post. Sorry. I am hoping to have the surgery in July. I will have it done at Alexandra Hospital - cheaper than all the rest and very nice people. I believe Dr. Ravi may be one of my choices. I am out of the country right now but will return in mid June. I can tell you then. I left all of that info there.

Hi - I live in Singapore. I would love to get together and begin developing a support group here. I had my surgery in May 2007 and have lost 75 lbs.

Dr. Baladas at Raffles Hospital performed my surgery. I was also very frustrated by the lack of realistic information from the nutritionist at the hospital. I gathered much better information from this site and used this to support me as I began this process.

Do not give up. I have been able to enjoy many of my favorite foods in limited amounts and there are options in Singapore to support you.

I will keep checking this site to check for your replies. I hope to hear from you soon.

Melissa,

Yes, let's get together. How should we meet? Not sure we want to put our phone numbers and/or addresses on this public forum. Are you on facebook?

Hey - Happy National Day. It would be great to get together. I live off Orchard by the Paragon/Mt. Elizabeth. I am going to search for the few other folks that have mentioned living here. I think there are 2 more; and send them messages so maybe they would like to join us.

Can you do morning/evening? Luckily, everthing is so convenient here; we can meet at a coffee shop.

That would be great. I know two others who would probably be interested. One is having the procedure done on Tuesday. The other one had it done in June, I think. I can meet anytime for the most part. Just let me know when and where.

My brother is looking into lapband surgery in Singapore at the moment. I might send him the link to this thread. I'm in Australia and got lapbanded last week.

I am subscribed to this thread, so I will monitor for new messages. I am also searching out members who have mentioned Singapore in their posts.

I do travel though, so if I don't respond promptly, please send me an email. So I don't miss talking with you all.

You can also send a friend request to a member that has stated they live in Singapore and we can track each other down this way also.

Can anyone give me some advice about finding a fill doctor in Singapore? I am going to be traveling through the area and I am desperately needing a fill.

I wish I could help. I know my surggeon will only fill his own patients, Dr. Baladas at Raffles Hosp, I have heard there is another surgeon maybe at Gleneagles hospital that does Bariatric.

I travel quite a bit in the region and I have found it very difficult to eat and travel after some of my fills. I would enjoy all of the beautiful fruit available here and make sure to drink enough Water with the humid heat.

Have a Great Trip - Melissa
