So start chatting away everyone...as for the herald sun here is a link to read

Hey All, I am going back to work next week, after having the required two weeks off. I won't have time to be as prolific a poster as I have been while off work, but I will pop in as much as I can. Don't worry about that!:biggrin1:

My other sister Rebecca does not think I should go back to work for a further two weeks. I asked her who did she think was paying the bills?

She offered to pay a months rent for me if I wanted to stay another two weeks at home. I find that I can't accept that. I am a very stubborn and independent person.

Susannah

Thanks guys!

Do you feel ok to go back to work Susannah? I know that for me, I was going stir crazy after 2 weeks off and was keen to go back to work and have contact with real life people (as much as I love Oprah and Dr Phil, they aren't very good conversationalists hehe). Just take it easy when you go back and you should be right, do you have a very strenuous job?

Hey, I work in childcare. :biggrin1: I know, I know I've got rocks in my head! I actually love children a lot and really enjoy my job. I think I will enjoy it more when the weight comes off and I don't feel so wretched at the end of each day! I will not be doing any heavy lifting of any kind for a further two weeks after I get back to work.

I have not really been watching much telly up here to be honest, except for The Biggest Loser. I have been reading, and surfing the net mainly. Susannah

I think you should be right as long as you don't have to lift anything or bend lots or get up and down all that much. I really surprised myself in my first week back at work with how ok I felt.

I can't beleive how much some of them lost last night in the weigh in!! They put my loss to shame!!

Hey M, We would also lose that much if we had Sgt Kickass riding us for four hours a day. Where is Bron??????????? Susannah

I guess we would. Man I would love to go to a boot camp for a month, I love that kind of stuff!

I was just thinking the same thing!! Maybe she is out celebrating!!!

sorry for the wait but.... i waited over 2.5 hrs to see dr Nottle.

Please note below

Hey, Looks like I was right on my time line prediction!:biggrin1: Yay! That is no time at all. Susannah

Hey Bron, You can start posting on the March 2007 bandsters thread on the main board now. The time pre op will fly by. I am really happy for you. Susannah

Im so exited. dr nottle was so nice.

I see the physician and dietician this wednesday and then Dr Nottle on 7/3 and then its the op on 9/3.

Hi all

Bronnie.. That is fantastic news!! that's less than a month.. OMG how exciting for you :omg: He does get busy doesn't he? But the 2.5 hr wait was well worth it for. Well done :clap2:

Thanks Loretta... im sure your time will come soon.

Im excited but believe me im nervous. dr Nottle wants to see me 2 days prior to operation just to go over physicians notes and to have a general chat. he doesnt believe that Dr Tran will send me for sleep studies when i see him this wednesday.
