Hello Mia How did you go with Dr Nottle?

[mia72 0]

Hi Kaylene,

And thanks again for your details on Dr.Nottle, he was fantastic.

He checked my band and removed 3 (ml?) so i now have nothing in my band.

He asked me to have a x-ray but i found out a couple of days later i'm pregnant so that's not going to happen.

I'm seeing him again tomorrow as my problem may of been to much in the band? since removal i can eat a large plate of food (and steak!) and drink at the same time.....must say it has been luxury, but i don't want to get to porky.

Not sure if lap bands effect pregnancy or not?

Thanks for asking about me, it's very sweet of you.

Hope you have a lovely week.

Hi everyone

Just registered and found this thread. Looking forward to talking with you. I had mine done privately on 23/05/07 and have lost 3.5kgs. Had first fill of 2.5mls, is this normal as I can still eat a full meal, but no bread.< /p>

day surgery

i have been seing dr nottle and he told me that i would be banded by the middle of this year and be done day surgery.... now i have been told that he wont be doing day surgerys from july this year and my surgery wont be done untill this time next year... im am totaly shattered... i have been on the public waiting list since november the 15th 2006... just dont know what to do now. as i would have got private health in nov and would have been done by nov this year.. there has been alot of people he has given false hope 2.

Hi Everyone...

Kaylene, that is really bad news. I know how hard its been for you playing the waiting game. It stinks.

Hi Kaylene, I am interested in your post about dr nottle not doing day surgery any more. Which hospital were you booked at for the day surgery? I know he is changing from the western to the alfred but thought he only did days at williamstown. my d i l is on the waiting list for williamstown so will be anxiously waiting to read your reply.

[aquasky13 0]

yes its williamstown im talking about i have called them 3 times seems every one on day surgery wont get done now unless they were on the list since june last year more or less this meens that we all will have a extra 12 months to add on to the time we have already been waiting as i have been on since nov 16 last year

thanks for your reply kaylene. that is sad, when d i l last phoned the office she was told she would definately be done this year, looks like they might have been giving her false hope.

[aquasky13 0]

i am self paying now after all the wait.. have been told 12 months still to wait that is why im self paying... i have been booked in for the 19th of october... atleast if i pay for it i know ill be done.
