I got my six week check up letter yesterday for oct 15th, I had a sleeve on 25th August do I think that's just over six weeks (had op at srh).
I don't know whether this is because there were a few complications with my op - I'm still not sure what happened! They said I stopped breathing and I was in recovery a long time. I also had some tube with blood coming in to me when I woke up so I have no idea what that was all about either! Keen to find out, morbidly!
Have been ok since, very very tired though. On plus side I've lost 18lbs since op

Excellent weight loss Julia - well done; and I hope you've recovered from your op.
I phoned yesterday and the letter from my appointment on 20th August has been prepared but not yet typed up. Was told it shouldn't be too much longer though. Crikey - I'd get the sack if it took me 4 weeks to draft and type a letter. Dread to think how long it will take to go to one side of the hospital to the other once it is typed. ;-)

Thanks novamay! I worry because some days I feel hungry and others I don't feel hungry at all, but it's definitely coming off. Op has taken a bit longer than I hoped to recover from. I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post op and still really tired, it's definitely took it out of me. I hoped to be back at work by now but my doctor gave me a note for another two weeks, so I guess I need the rest.
Four weeks to write a letter?! That's nuts but at the same time I'm not that surprised!!

Hi Julia - just you rest and take as long as you need before going back to work - if its anything like where I work you wont get any thanks for going back anytime too soon!
I had originally thought I'd be able to take my time before going back, but think I'll need to get back as soon as possible as we're going through a restructure at the moment and possibly another review in December-time once the October changes have had chance to settle! If I have my op late Oct-mid Nov time then I'm going to be bang on December for time off! Which means, if I have to go back to my substantive post in December, I'll start with sick leave (great!) - also my substantive isnt where I left it - its been moved to a new team in a new location, doing something I've not done before.
