Information about Bathurst Clinic?
Hey Colleen, I had my surgery in Bathurst on April 7th and I found they are TERRIFIC!! when you go for your appointment with the doctor he will discuss what type of surgery he thinks is best but initially it is up to you what surgery you want, you will have a choice between the gastric bypass, Sleeve, or the lap band surgery.. I initially was going to get the lap band surgery, but I opted for the sleeve and I am SO GLAD I did Im out 9 weeks I lost 20 pounds my first 3 weeks after surgery, and then I had a stall for about 2-3 weeks and didnt lose a thing which is common so if it happens dont worry lol and then since then Ive lost another 21 lbs , I average about 3-4 lbs a week.. It really is a life changing event and I wouldnt change anything, 41 lbs down in 2 months, I dont think ive ever lost that much weight with in at least the last 10-15 years, let alone with in 2 months I wish you much luck and success in your journey, listen to your doctor, nurses and dietician, they are terrific and so so nice.. keep up posted :D
Thank you very much - I am glad to hear you are doing well! I have my consultation on July 8, got the call a little over a week ago. I'm glad to hear that they do the sleeve gastrectomy there, because from what I've read that seems to be the one I would be most comfortable with! How long was it between your first consultation and your surgery?
