Olivereindeer 30 Posted February 10, 2013 Yes, I think I've read your other posts. I have been told by my Tassie surgeon to make sure I go to someone who has vast experience of sleeving after banding as its much more complicated. I did look Dr Moore up but couldn't see anything about how many procedures he has done. I'm seeing Ian Michell in Vic then heading up to see Dr Talbot then Dr Craig Taylor in NSW. I'm Hedging my bets by seeing 3 in the hope I will have a choice of surgeons. Dud u have any other co-morbidity use. I have asthma which is worsening, recurrent back pain and a strong family history of high bp and diabetes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieLady 521 Posted February 10, 2013 My sister was banded by Dr. Moore 10 years ago. He is highly respected in Melbourne. I have a family history of diabetes and my knees were very bad. I was on the verge of having a knee replacement but now my pain has gone and I am walking 8kms most days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olivereindeer 30 Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks AussieLady, I'm finding it hard as I am an RN in my state and know who is good and who is not surgeon wise .... But I have no idea about other states. Thanks for the advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olivereindeer 30 Posted February 12, 2013 It's just so sad that America has been left behind in the olden days!! Poor old soul - here's a tip - 100lb is 45kg - thus is what I need to lose to have a BMI of 20! Do you count sheep in Roman numerals too in the US? Night night....
