lol so I have been working my fat off as a trainee... I didn't have energy for ANYTHING. But I was thinking about all of you. :cursing:

I have been... well... um. Dunno. I moved up here for the job. And I asked my surgen to refer me to a surgen up here. But he sent a letter saying 'Ses has been extremely unco-operative and difficult' for a new surgeon and that was it.

So yes people, word of warning. If you don't do the weight loss at Dr. Stephan Blamey's expected speed, and he wants SPEED, he gives up on you. Competely. But maybe that's a public patient thing. Maybe he is very sweet to the private patient people?

So I moved up here, aware that I had no doctors, it was my first job, my first time moving out of home, and my band was still giving me issues. But lol, what else could I do?

Anyway, then I worked. Lots. Full time job, superviser didn't like me from the moment she set eyes on me, but I've just been trying to work anyway. I've lost a lot of weight through the job... 20kgs... I was 143kgs, and now I'm about 123kgs, which I think isn't bad. :cursing:

I still don't have a surgeon and I think the band is too tight still, but I have no idea what to do about that, other than go to a hospital if it breaks or my esohagus falls apart under the strain of food acid or something. o.o But if anyone in Queensland, Brisbane, has a surgeon who deals with public lapband patients, feel free to let me know or them know or something. It's probably really stupid to do it like this. I just currently have no clue what else to do. :cursing:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
