Peta's Lapband Story

Home

Here is the story of my lapband which i decided to get one due to the fact that i have had trouble losing weight for a long time and even the diets i tried was not working. It was affecting my knee and ankle so bad and had no where to turn. I had spoken to my GP about it and he suggested that i should have lapband done. I was a bit sceptical about that information. So, I decided to research the pros and cons of having lapband. Even went to the yahoo forum to research and found alot of men and women has had lapband done with great weight loss success. I thought to myself that might help me and still a little hesitate about the idea.

I went back to the GP to get referral to a lapband specialist. There was only two in Tasmania. One responded to me very quickly was Dr S. Wilkinson. The other one didnt reply quickly enough and was disappointed. As i am deaf i rely on email as my way of communication same way as hearing people use the phone. Made appointment to see Dr Wikinson and he said my BMI was 41 and that is seriously overweight. He was very positive that i will lose weight in no time. He showed me what the lapband looks like and how the fill was done etc. I was amazed at the unique technology of how lapband works. He ask me if i had any questions i said no i did most of my work via internet and yahoo forum which as lapband info etc how people went through.

Made appointment for the 6th March 2007.
