| Hi amberedgal,
As far as I know I nabbed the first appointment available in Jan..It was either end of Jan or Feb.. I just grabbed what I could..
You won't be disappointed with Harsha.. He makes you feel so comfortable and answers all questions without hesitation.. :)
Kati, will keep an eye out for your progress.. Hope all goes well for you, as I am sure it will.. :)
I am super excited as I have been battling obesity for 20 years and enough is enough!!
Cheers
Meredith | |

| Thank you so much for that snickers.. There aren't a lot of people on here that have used Harsha so it is great to get some feedback!
Hope all went well with yours.. I am so excited but super super anxious about it..
Could you give a run down on post op?? I know everyone is different but would love to hear how you went..
Cheers | |

| Hi I had my sleeve op on Monday by dr Chandaratna at SJOG Murdoch. I can not say enough wonderful things about the whole experience. The nursing staff were great and so was the doc. You will love it  | |

| Hey Mer thats great news, exciting and nervewracking I'm sure. I'm a newbie like yourself and am having my first apointment on the 16th of Dec. We might end up having our sleeves around the same time as I'm hoping for Jan/Feb too. What surgeon are you having do yours? Cheers Trish | |

| Well I had my first appointment yesterday and it looks like I may be joining the Jan sleevers, possibly Feb's. have to see the Psych next Tuesday and an appointment date will be made then, then the following Monday I see the dietitian.. AAAGGGHHHH!!!
I am more than happy with my surgeon.. He made me feel very comfortable and answered ALL questions without hesitation.. Although he did have a little smirk on his face when I asked him if he had lost anyone on the table..lol
I am so much more at ease after seeing him and can finally say I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!!! | |
