Nottle has an excellent reputation he was the first surgeon to bring the lapband to Aus Im not sure of any other surgeons that do it so I can't offer any advice in that area.. And if your in Melbourne and not to far from Werribee or Williamstown I would highly reccomend him

My friend the one who just had hers done stayed in for 2 days..

I have to go but all the very best to your DIL

Night

Profeesor Paul O brien was actually the first one and he taught Peter

Dr. Nottle was the first consult I had, although I eventually ended up being banded at The Avenue by Mr. Gary Crosthwaite. It was back in 2005 when I saw Dr. Nottle and I was going private. The wait for me at the time would have been 2 months. Not bad at all I reckon, although it can feel like ages when you're ready to be banded lol.

Hi Aquasky

I am new to this forum thing but read your post . I went to see Dr Nottle on monday 13th at williamstown and have to go see dietician and a Dr goldin. Dr nottle says it will probably be mid next year when i hit the top of the list as well so thought it might be intersting to see how we go seeing we saw him a few days apart. Good luck with the wait and happy postings :peep:

hello tarajane yes that is public...

i have to see the dietitian and the physician (Dr goldin) who runs a heap of test. depending on the test he might wanna send me for a sleep apnia

and he wants to see me back in 6 weeks... puts me right on xmas time so im thinking that it may be after new year when i do get back to see him...

he said if all me test come back good then i can have day surgery so may be quicker... Kaylene

Hey TaNgLe

yeah its funny the difference in things he says i suppose its got to do with your size and health.. I'm lucky that i don't have any health issues at the moment.. that is why I'm hoping for day surgery

i wanna thank every one that has been giving me alot of info and personal experiences

thanks

Kaylene
