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:
