Perth Lap Band Surgeons - advice / recommendations



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have had my band for 4 years and since coming to Perth have not been that happy with my care team.

Can you let me know who your surgeon / care teams in perth are and how you rate them.

Many thanks

Laura

Hi Laura

I went through Dr Watson at St John of God Murdoch - follow up is with other doctors in his office - all have been very helpful and friendly, a real mixture of Doctors there, some to offer tough love and others a bit more sympathetic and nurturing :-)

No complaints so far.

Dr Watson sometimes runs information and follow up seminars so you might be able to attend one of those and get a feel for what they are like?

May I ask where are you currently going?

Good luck.

My GP is really knowledgeable about the lap band, and he can do fills so I am going to see him for my follow up care with the band. I get on better with him than I did my surgeon.

My friend went to Dr Kierath and is very happy with him.

hey hey...

I went through Circle of Care in Subiaco. Their doctors rooms are at St John of God Hospital and they are all very lovely people and very thorough in what they do. I was banded last Tuesday.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
