Hey all,

Just putting the word out to see if any of u Aussie's can help me find a really good Sydney Doc.

I'm having a few "communication problems" with the one that banded me, and as i'm now having lot's of problems i need to find another doc to go to.

And help, suggestions would be much appreciated

thanks

Angel

I hear ya on the hair falling out bit, I'm even loosing my eyelashes LOL.

I'm sorry to hear that ur baby was ill when he born. I hope he's feeling better.

Have u had any scans etc done to see what the problem is? Or maybe ur band is to tight? U really should check with ur Dr and see what the problem is and try to sort it out.

I'll find out Tuesday if there's anything much that i can do before i give birth, but until then i think i'm just gonna have to keep bringing up the food/liquid/everything. Cross ur fingers for me that this can be resolved. The OBGYN's saying that if it keeps up then they might induce me earlier as the baby would probably have a better chance at nutrition on the outside. I really don't want that to happen. So i'm hopeing the problems will get sorted.

My god, your eyelashes as well. Hope mine don't fall out, they are my best asset(black & long).

I hope they can do something for you & the baby. You poor thing, you still have over 3mths to go. Can you get anything down at all??? FRUSTRATING

For lunch I tried some left over spag bol from last nite, I managed to get a little down, then had to let the rest come back up. Off to have another cup of coffee now, love my coffee, & I know I won't have to bring it back up.

Yeah my eyelashes used to be my best assest as well, now i put heaps and heaps of mascarra and they still barley show.

Apart from a cracker or a slice of cheese, Absolutley nothing else stays down. Even Water and coffee have a habit of coming up most times. That's why i suspect i've got a slipped band. I think it's a catch 22 thing, being over restricted (even thou the band has no fil, ) made me vomit heaps and that in turn slipped the band. Well that's my theory anyway until the Doc tells me otherwise LOL.

Angel, Good luck today for your Dr's visit. Hope you get some answers, some good ones

Sorry I havn't replied in a while Trish, I've been bogged under with hospital visit's, ultrasounds and the like.

It's been confirmed that my band has slipped, and the Dr even suspects that it was never placed correctly to begin with. So I'll be going into surgery on the 2nd of April. He dosn't know if he can replace it or not, so it may end up being a removal, and the chances of getting the band placed after I give birth are pretty low considering my weight now.

So i suppose i won't know until i wake up from the anesthesia LOL.

How is everything going on your end????

Hi There not sure which part of Sydney you from but I am in the South and would recommend the doctor who did me he was absolutely fantastic
