Hi to you all, have been lurking around this page for 12 months or so and have got a lot of information which was very useful, though still a lot to lean.
I was originally going to have a band in 2004/5, but then I made a decision to move overseas to a third world country so I opted out due to not knowing the full extent of the medical services there and if I got into trouble with the band it was a long flight home.
We are back in Aussie now for a couple of years of which 1 year has passed already so I thought I had best get off my backside and get something done. The band is out now, as we are returning back home I see the sleeve as the best option for me, it is more aggressive and there are a few worries with the operation but long term I feel I will be better off.
I have my operation date which is the 5th of February at St Johns of Gods in Subiaco. My Surgeon is Dr Harsha Chandraratna, only had one meeting with him but seems like a decent sort of bloke. If anyone has any further info about him or have had the operation by him I would be interested to hear what you have to say thanks.
I am so looking forward to the operation I just wish I could have got in sooner, but what is to be is to be.
My name is Greg Harris and I will keep you posted as to how it all goes.
