Ha ha yes i meant investigator, i could do with an invertor myself, had a very stressful day, well thats my excuse!!!!! My 86 yearold Mother who has dementia had a cataract removed today under general anaesthetic, all went ok luckely, feel like i spend half my life at hospitals at the moment, if its not for me its with the mother.

Awwwww poor you xbander my mum is always in and out of hospital so know how that feel lol!!! I'm still rather shocked no nice millionaires have jumped to our aid and invested in some skin removal ha ha ha really?? Come on???
Well my brother is an investor (works in investor relations) but he is rather large himself and is going to have an endobarrior inserted, its being trialled in the UK as an ulternative to gastric bypass, but not perminent.
I thought he might of offered to pay for me to have my bypass privately but no such luck. He prefers to invest or spend his money on himself!!!!! Brothers, I'm just the porper sister!!!!!!!!

Sick to the back teeth of the unorganised staff at luton and dunstable now, today ive recieved a breathing medication test!!! WHAT THE ****!!! I don't have breathing problems!!! I ask why I'm doing all these tests and no one knows!! No one else has to do them!!! It's postponed my surgery from November to now and this latest appointment isn't til the end of March!!! I'm not sick to my back teeth of going back and forth to this hospital just to go forward a step to get put back another month!! No one knows what's going on! I have no support at home! I think I'm just going to not bother anymore I know that sounds ridiculous but the constant ups and downs are causing rows between me and my partner and it's seriously starting to affect me mentally!! I been on anti depressants 9 years and I been off them for a year and the only thing in my life that's making me wobble, cry, panic etc is the hospital. I can't keep watching people get there surgery and I'm just messed about and no one can give me any answers, I can't keep crying because of them!
This is rediculous claudia, you need to get onto the L&D and ask the secretary to get one of the Dr's to explain to you whats going on and why they want all these tests, and why a medication test when your not on any medication for your breathing, you need to speak to one of the Dr's or whoever ordered it.
This is beyond a joke now for you, you also need to put in a complaint about it.

So sorry to hear this, I will second everything Xbander has said. I know it's hard but try and stay strong, my God, I've had to so many times on this journey. I won't believe it until I am on the operating table. Doesn't this mess with your lives, people outside our World don't understand how hard this process is. I don't know yet which surgeon I am seeing next week, bit afraid to ring in case it is cancelled.
Stay strong claudiadearman, phone them Monday and put in a major complaint, it should tell you how to complain on the L&D hospital website, tell them everything in your complaint in detail and also say you have not and never have had any breathing problems. But please try and stay strong, it will be worth it in the end

THANKYOU!! I just feel that I get Sooo far and then oh we forgot to do something or I get some random test again!! I'm back again Tuesday and if no one can give me the answers or cancel these tests then I think I'm actually going to walk, my daughters 9 and my son is 4 I promised them a holiday this year as last year I thought I'd be getting surgery and now I can't book anything or make any plans, my hubby works for national grid doing emergencys and he can't take time off at certain times of the year and I have no one else to help me, take me or bring me home from hospital. I just feel like my life is in limbo and it's so hard watching everyone else getting their surgery. I just had a huge row with my hubby and he's stormed out as he's so frustrated watching me cry and there is nothing he can do. Also now I don't know if it's worth going tuesday because I seriously don't want to go to hear they can't book me in til they have these test results etc. I'm not local its an 2:30 hour round trip too! Just so fed up now! X
So sorry to hear your being messed about Claudiadearman , must be bloody heartbreaking for you , but dont dont give in , youv come this far why turn back , go down the right channels and complain .......must admit I was messed about for about a year until I went and saw them in November , I had a right go at them because one person was telling me one thing and somebody was telling me something different .......I didnt know what I was supposed to be doing .......thankfully now I seem to have sorted all that out , Im sure you will and you will get your Op ,......just hold your head up and dont give in .....Xx

Another thing when I was there the other day they kept asking me if I had other tests I had to do???? Ermm how would I know I'm not the bloody doctor??? I don't even know why they are making me do these tests!! First I know of anything is when I get the letter through my door!! So angry!! I know who the manager of the batriatric department is at luton and dunstable so I'm calling her Monday morning! The doctor who requested all this I saw in Novemeber he said I might have sleep anapnea and he asked if I get tired etc, well obviously!!! I was 200lb over weight have two kids, dog, 3 cats and 4 horses and 5 foals!!! I'm on my feet constantly and then I have my house and yard to run then see to the husband!! Who wouldn't be bloody tired!!! But I have never woken up choking or had headaches or have afternoon naps etc!!! And if this is all because of that why wasn't this all done last Novemeber??? Or before they did my MDT or booked me in to see the surgeon??? Why let me get my hopes up and get this far!! OH I KNOW!! BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ORGANISATION SKILLS OF A KNAT!!
Sorry about the rants ladies lol! Can't talk to hubby he just shouts at me :-( xx

ring up the main swithboard hon and ask to speak to someone in pals.
Your perfectly intitled to rant, we are all here to support you, i think you have been treated appallingly, if they wanted to see if you had sleep apnoea why not just do a sleep study which would prove you havent instead of all this faffing about, we all get tired with being overweight especially if you have kids, that doesnt mean you have sleep apnoea. I really feel for you, I want you in the bed next to me post op together to have a good laugh. Ask if they could get the medical Dr to phone you or if you could see im to sort it out, its rediculous.

I'm going to call them first thing Monday and find out and then I'm going Tuesday to see Dr whitelaw to get this sorted. When I saw the anaesthetist he couldn't believe how healthy I actually was!! Don't drink, smoke, no asthma, no diabeties, no sleep anopnea, blood pressure great, no heart problems, even my cholesterol isn't bad!!! I don't understand it all? Now to have a bloody breathing medicine test!! I'm not even on pain relief or anti depressants!! I've had three major surgeries and two minor and never had a problem with anaesthetic or pain relief meds?? THIS IS WEIRD ISNT IT?? Xxx thankyou xxxxx

You mentioned you had an appointment on Tuesday with Dr Whitelaw, are you saying this Tuesday, cause in an earlier post you said 2nd March, if that's the case it is not until a week on Tuesday, or am I confused, if so, tell me to keep my mouth shut (in a nice way please).
