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.

      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.
