im not quite sure about that

yep sounds good:) im glad its all working out for you

i think the sleep study depends on if you feel like you could have sleep apnea...which i tho i had as sometimes i wake through the night all jittery and out of breath....he asks questions and i think if he feels you need one he will make you get one done.

Hey thats great news....congrats you sound very overwhelmed:) Im not sure about getting the local gp to write up the blood test to get done...im guessing the gp would have to find out off Peter which blood test u need and if he gets the info then i dont see why the gp cant write u one:). That is it really...no one else unless you have to do the sleep test but the physician will let you know about that

No Probs....let us know how you go

Yes you do need to see a Dietician....when you phone also book in to see the dietician his name is Michael if its still him doing it and then that way you get it all done on the same day when you see peter. The physician is in williamstown around the corner from Peters rooms and i waited 2 weeks to get in to see him. The physician may send you for a sleep test which i had to do but im not sure if everyone has to do it. I didnt have to do the optifast either...so i was wrapped:)

Just keep trying as i know hes way till the 15th Jan...but u never know your luck:)

hey i have sent u a pm

an update on me since its a new year i have a new job:) Still the co-ordinator of an occasional care centre for children My night job is at a specialist centre working with a Gynocologist:) I ahve also just had another job offer at a childcare centre, so may take this one up and leave the occasional care centre...still deciding

Just keep your chin up think positive and put the weight gain behind you, as you are now moving forward and think positve about this new healthy lifestyle that you will soon be having:)

I was in hospital over night....got done at 9.30 pm and left the follwing day at 2pm, so really not that long. The only post op i experienced was not been able to go the toilet, i was really constipated. I had a little pain in my left shoulder but wasnt really to bad at all. I had to take dissolvable panandol.... :notagree yuk...they were disgusting but you could be described something diff it just depends on the individual

Hi ....i had mine in hosp at western private in footscray. I work at a leisure centre and have a free membership which i have hardly used. I have full use of all the facilties which i seriously need to start using especially for my legs....they are really shocking:cry
