Perth Lap Band Surgeons - advice / recommendations



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have had my band for 4 years and since coming to Perth have not been that happy with my care team.

Can you let me know who your surgeon / care teams in perth are and how you rate them.

Many thanks

Laura

Hi Laura

I went through Dr Watson at St John of God Murdoch - follow up is with other doctors in his office - all have been very helpful and friendly, a real mixture of Doctors there, some to offer tough love and others a bit more sympathetic and nurturing :-)

No complaints so far.

Dr Watson sometimes runs information and follow up seminars so you might be able to attend one of those and get a feel for what they are like?

May I ask where are you currently going?

Good luck.

My GP is really knowledgeable about the lap band, and he can do fills so I am going to see him for my follow up care with the band. I get on better with him than I did my surgeon.

My friend went to Dr Kierath and is very happy with him.

hey hey...

I went through Circle of Care in Subiaco. Their doctors rooms are at St John of God Hospital and they are all very lovely people and very thorough in what they do. I was banded last Tuesday.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
