My friend was banded by dr couch she was very happy with him. I didn't realise you could get sleeved at Waikiki that's so much closer to home not that Murdoch is far away lol

What was your out of pocket expenses?

Hi deb,

Did you have to do a pre op diet? We are pretty similar in weight and have the same surgeon. I'm just a bit concerned about my liver being a problem cause it's too 'fatty'. Padovan has not asked me to start a pre op diet, other than clear fluids the day before surgery.

Hi Krystal.

I had dr Padovan, and he was terrific. I've dealt with a few specialists in my time, and he was the most 'normal'. Very understanding without being over the top.

I had minimal pain from the surgery, and am most impressed with his handy work!

I wasn't that happy with the care from the hospital (The Mount), but managed ok.

Where abouts are you from in Perth?

Ask any questions you would like to know. Myself and another lady (deb) were both sleeved by Padovan, so between us we should be able to deal with anything you need to know.

Cheers

      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?

      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.
