Hi mark,been out shopping this morning and
When we got back home found another letter to
See Mr ackroyed on the Wednesday 4th September,
That was a fast appointment.looking forward
To going but no idea on what to ask him.
Do I need to put dates in on the bottom of
Every page I write.
I'm well chuffed.
Regards bigbeefybuilder
 
That's fantastic news all I would say is explain your diet and what type of surgery do you want and he will listen and tell you what he feels is best for you ask were it will be done and how long it is before you'll be done looking at his lists I would think November as you'll need a pre op check up then usually six weeks from then
10 days before you'll start the milk diet and its hard but you'll be focused and does pass quickly
Just checked my diary I am on training that day but you'll be fine
Really pleased for you have you been to out patients one before
Also have you got sleep apnea if not have you been tested
That's a pre op question as he likes to know
Take care
 
hey BBB. i got my letter this morning too :) mines for the week after yours. if you go to user cp and look down the left side for edit signature you can add all your dates
 
If I am about week after will try and pop in and say hello shame I am on training the week before but you'll both enjoy it your journey is now under way
 
When they said it would be a month i thought they meant the letter would get to us in a month, all the other departments i see take ages, it was a lovely suprise :) better read faster if. I wantt to get thru all the bariatric surgery books i downloaded on my kindle before the appointment
 
Don't worry you get to see him if he is happy then you get your pre op after that give it a week then phone his secretary for a date it will speed it up if you need any help or have any questions just ask I live Rotherham and work for ambulance service and are at northern most days also thornberry and Claremont but he does not use it much for nhs patients usually thornberry its nice there I asked for mine at northern as know the staff there and like firth 8
Good luck
Have you met Liz govern and narisa there nice to
 
we saw at least one of those at the seminar, liz i think as the dietitian there was hannah. im umming and arring between sleeve and bypass and change my mind on a weekly basis. band wouldnt be in my best interest. im sure the team will help me decide. i talked it through numerous times with the weigh ahead staff but couldnt reach a conclusion as i was usually the one talking through the mechanics and pros and cons of the op while they nodded and smiled at me lol
 
I had a band was great for first year then had problems so converted to a by pass and find this far better as can eat anything but in far smaller portions just great
But it's upto you mr ackroyd will advise you what is best
But both are good band I feel had to many issues but did work good
Take care

***BIGBEEFYBUILDER UPDATE***

hi all,
intresting day yestoday i went to see mr ackroyed at the nothern general hospital appointment time 2:40 got there got weighed took my height and bmi then went in a room to see i thought would be dr ackroyed it was a very attractive blonde dr.
went throgh what i have done to lose weight ie tablets diets told her i have 5 meals a day and i snack in between meals, and i comfort eat late at night when my chronic pain kicks in, asked me what i wanted told her the gastric bypass, didn't have to see a diet nurse.
was told if i don't lose enough weight up to operation day if they could not do a bypass they would do the sleeve.

so next stop is the appoint to see if im fit to have operation then date so im well chuffed, the dr who was in place of dr ackroyed said she would be putting me down for the operation and there was a waiting list of 4 months.

i would like to thank all your help out there on this site for your understanding and kind replies.

can any body tell me if i have put this thread in the right place if not can you put it where it should be please!

my wife could not be with me yestoday as my 11' year old son was having 4 of his wisdom teeth out,but im sure she will suport me on my next appointment.

one last thing how do i go about showing a progress report below my name in this wonder full site.
