Anyone else from Essex?

[Bella's mum]

Hi I am new. Has anyone else had treatment at Luton and Dunstable Hospital?

 

[mrshengy]

I'm not from Essex but I had my bypass at L&D 11days ago, the staff are so nice & helpful, good luck on your journey x

I am with Luton & Dunstable, waiting for my MDT appointment on 13th Feb.

There are a few of us on here with L&D.

 

[Bella's mum]

I am still on Tier 3. It took me months to actually get as far as Tier 3. I have to complete 6 months, have 2 months left.
What happens after GP then refers you to Luton & Dunstable?

 

[sundowners]

Are you doing Tier 3 with L&D? I did mine with Addenbrookes of Cambridge and are now under L&D for surgery. I have been on this journey for nearly 3 years.

 

[Bella's mum]

Hi
No I was not allowed to. My GP wanted to refer me to L&D but CCG wouldn't fund it. They had commissioned 'Morelife" to provide their Tier 3 program.

 

[Bella's mum]

No I have been made to use 'MoreLife" as local CCG have commissioned them to provide Tier 3 program.

Where

 

[Michelle79]

Hmm. I am just going along with it to fulfil Tier 3 requirement. I have a one-to -one programme, its really cognitive therapy. Had to argue with them to actually provide a service. Have you finished the programme? Where was/is your Morelife course?

 

[Bella's mum]

What is the procedure once you have completed the course? Do they then write to your GP who then refers you to the hospital for surgery?

 

[Michelle79]

I have to go to Harlow as well. They only did a one-to-one because I complained to the CCG because Morelife wouldn't give me a date for the course in Grays. I kept being told they didn't have enough people to run a group and I would have to wait. What is the procedure once you have completed the course? Do they then write to your GP who then refers you to the hospital for surgery

Did they expect you to have lost a minimum amount of weight?

 

[Michelle79]

The main person is Susie Eldridge and the dietician is Katie. Did you get referred to Luton and Dunstable? Did they expect you to have lost a minimum amount of weight?

 

[Bella's mum]

Did MoreLife or the hospital give you a target weight to loose?
Was it your Gp or Morelife that gave you the choice of hospitals?
Sorry to ask so many questions. x
