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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
