Aussie lapbanders - help please

[shasha 0]

I was banded last August in the United Arab Emirates. The procedure was so traumatic, that I never went back for a fill. I am coming home to Australia in a few days and would like to get in contact with a great surgeon to check if everything is OK with the band and to have my first fill. I really need someone who I can trust and who will be supportive. I will be based in Brisbane.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I am on the Gold Coast which is about 45 mins from Brisbane. My surgeon is great and the whole staff are really supportive. If you want any info let me know.

Thanks Sunshine

I would like to get somewhere a bit closer than that - but if I get desperate I will contact you. Thanks again, and good luck with your own journey.

Hi Shasha,

My Dr is Doug Nicholson. He's at Sunnybank.He's a no nonsense person, good sense of humour & very supportive.

Dr John Copp is in Ipswich

Dr Mark Doud, Dr Phillip Lockie, Dr Blair Bowden and Dr Justine Greenslade are just a few Brisbane surgeons.

Check out their web sites.

Good luck with finding one who suits you.

Thanks Jen. I am going to try and make an appointment at the Blair Bowden clinic with Jen Duncombe and take it from there.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my email :tongue_smilie:
