DR SABINE was amazing! ADELAIDE



Recommended Posts

Had my first initial appointment with the surgeons dr.

I had to do an assessment and discussion with this doctor he works with the surgeon and assists him.

If anyone is from Adelaide Australia and looking at surgery I suggest you look into Ashford hospital bariatrics.

I will meet the surgeon next time but for a first impression face to face with this doctor he was so friendly open to the point he listened to everything I had to say he was impressed with how much I knew and I told him I've been researching everything for months and he agreed with me about the RNY mostly because of how bad my diabetes type2 is that's number one, we had a good discussion he was so easy to get along with and I've dealt with many doctors in my life.

I was very happy with the process he said I can make the next appointment with the surgeon closer to my date and he will discuss my case with the surgeon Dr Teague but he can't see any reason why the bypass won't happen!

This is the full process literally; see him today, see him and surgeon Next time, see dietitian to discuss pre-op diet, have the surgery see the dietitian at least once post op, obviously come in for checkups post op I was so happy, he said there may be others that have lower prices but they aren't as well trained and one surgeon actually had never been trained and got in big trouble years back but his surgery and Ashford have many good reviews and he was very professional but being in Australia I still have six months waiting period before insurance will cover the surgery then I pay a gap of $4000 that's everything.

I really feel bad for some of the hoops American insurance companies have I'm glad it's more straightforward with the surgeon I've chosen.

We have had in the past several other " Ashford" and they too sang his praises so I know it has to be a great option.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
