Hi Everyone



Recommended Posts

what a great source of information I have found on here !!

I am new and hope to be banded in March by Dr Tony Kierath in Perth .

I am from Esperance so I have quite a distance 750km's to get to Perth .

Does anyone know of any accommodation near Bethesda Hospital .

I am nervous but after years of being large I have made my mind up

to do something for myself for a change .

I just wish March would hurry up .

Thanks Cheza

Hi Cheza

:)

Bethesda is in Claremont- and mostly accommodation is pretty expensive around there. I guess it depends how close - its not really a touristy type area.

Do you have anyone you can stay with or maybe even transport you to and from?

Hi Cheza

I was banded in November by Dr Tony Kierath, at Bethesda.

Congratulations on your decision to be banded.

I've been looking for other patients of Dr Kieraths on this site - but so far haven't got any replies to my post.

I'm due for my second fill on the 7th Feb '08, my first fill was Dec 18th '07. I'm really needing one sooner though.

Anyway - just thought I'd say hello. Good luck for March, and let us know how you're getting along. Take care.

Amy

Hey Cheza,

Maybe try Quest apartments in Subiaco or have a look for places in Fremantle, may be a bit cheaper than Claremont, although I am sure there are some short stay places around there....

Good luck for your op

      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.
