Hi everyone

Whereabouts in the country are you and which hospital are you under?

It certainly sounds as if you're getting close to the end of the journey!

Good luck for the home straight!

Hi Kim,

I'm also in Surrey, Walton, and under Ashford & St Peters. My surgeon is Mr Humadi and I would have had surgery at St Georges except they've now started operating at St Peters.

I'm having a sleeve in just under 7 weeks!

Where in Surrey are you?

Kim - is it worth giving the Bariatric co-ordinator at St Georges a call tomorrow for a little reassurance?
It certainly sounds like they are just waiting to give you a slot, but it doesn't hurt to check!

Well I was told 18weeks & it was 6days Not your PCT though so don't panic but just be aware that the 18 week timeline is not set in stone ... sounds like you are not too far off though, sweetie xxx

Not long to wait now ...
There is hope for me yet with St Georges...

My pre-op was on the 6th Oct and my op is on the 7th but the pre-op last about 4 months till you have to have a new one. You're literally round the corner, if you want to meet for a coffee let me know.
