Hi. I'm going in next week for surgery with Dr Greenslade at Greenslopes. Has anyone any experience with him? Thanks :)

No, but I've heard good things about him. Good luck with your surgery. Was done by Dr Copp who was working from the same office one day a week, but only operates at Ipswich. I would have preferred to be done at Greenslopes as it is a great hospital. Let us know how you get on. Have you looked at thread called Attention! australian sleevers???

Thanks :) My GP went to a seminar he held and was impressed with him, so.... That's where I ended up. I felt comfortable when I went to see him. I'm glad you've heard good things!

Let us know how your surgery goes and f you ave any questions afterwards. It's definitely a earning process. Nearly 3months out I am still getting used to my new reality, but never once have I regretted my decision. My sleep specialist and orthopaedic surgeon are based at Greenslopes.

Dr Greenslade did my sleeve last week (31 Oct) at the QE11 hospital. He is lovely and very good. I can't tell you how many nurses commented on how good a surgeon he is. I'm very happy with my surgery - 9 days post and no problems :-)

Old thread singing the praises of Dr Justin Greenslade

He was my surgeon too at Greenslopes, no complaints here, he is fantastic, nurses, other Drs etc all say fabulous things about him.

He is not only very approachable but has a heart and a beautiful caring nature. I am so glad I found him.

Had a different surgeon years ago when I had a band put in who I would not only, not recommend, but strongly advise people to stay away from.

Am I allowed to name that surgeon on here?

Can anyone who has surgery with Dr Greenslad give me any tips on QEII?? I'm booked in for just over a weeks time, and just wondering how the post op experience will be... Hate the idea of staying in hospital for any longer than necessary...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
