Well.... i just went and saw my GP to ask him for a refferal to see Dr Dolan to get Lap Band surgery done, i needed the refferal so it can be covered by Medicare as i do not have Private Health Insurance. He gave me one so YAY ! lol i just called Joondulup Health Campus to book my appoinment to see Dr Dolan which will be on Wed 21st of May, to my dissapoinment though the receptionist told me that the minimum waiting period for the surgery is 18 months, i would have loved that i could have got it sooner but i guess i cant be piccy. damn it :cool:

im one step closer just gotta hang in there and be patient lol

:purplebananna:

hello all again.... hmm now lets see what has been going on.. im now down to 100kgs from 128kgs but ive been stuck on 100kgs for a while now and it dosnt want to budge so it is a little frustrating. I have 5 1/2 mils now in my 10 ml band. A friend of mine had lost 60kgs in 1 yr with the band and i feel like im failing because it dosnt look like i will be losing that amount..

anyway IM ENGAGED! yay my darling bf proposed to me on the 5th of Jan .. such a gorgeouse ring ahh!... but its in at the moment getting resized so wont get it back for a week :sifone:

i have a question about being pregnant with the band.. so u have to get the band unfilled ?

for the record no im not pregnant.. as far as i know

congrats on the loss...you must be feeling better! I see Kevin Dolan too! He's great! I think when you get pregnant you have most of the fill taken out because Kevin doesn't want to be responsible for "malnutritioned babies". I heard this from a girl who just had a baby with band in and she was back to get some fill in.

when i was pregnant with my daughter i started out weighing 85kgs and then went up to 115kgs at full term, if my band was completely unfill id be scared to have such a huge weight gain again. I was so sick 24/7 for the 1st 3 months of my pregnancy and hardly gained any weight but once i felt better and able to eat its like my body stored all this fat after not eating really anything for so long.

im just scared of undoing all this work

Well well well it's been a crazy long time since I've been on here think the last time I posted was wen I was preg now my daughter is 2 lol

I wanted to do a catch up and ask some questions .. I've been having some issues and my dr believes I have IBS so he's Asked me to change my diet to IBS / lapband safe diet .. I'd like to know where I could get this info And or if anyone has the same .
