all systems go

apparently since but doctor referred me i have lost 8lb which kath was please about she did say if i put on weight my surgery wont happen, so im on the pre op diet which is actually quiet good, if anyone want's to know what it is i will write it down for you tomo on here.

kath said my op will be in about 6 weeks


so we talked and she recommended the bypass, i have 12 stone to lose and if i had the band she sed i would only lose 50% but if i had the bypass i would lose a lot lot more, so its the bypass for me which im happy about, also am bein sent for a heart ekg at the royal infirmary manchester as the are doin test studies so i will b have a ekg and a heart ultra sound, but katyh said it wont affect my operation, im havin it done for peace of mind as my mum and her dad both died of a sudden heart attack, so thats why im havin the test, also i will be tested after my op so they can see how weight loss affect my heart.

kath said il be seein the surgeon in prob the next 3/4 weeks, so im well happy, just cant wait to get the date lol, do u know when ur havin ur surgery xx

 

[StephieAck]

Well Mr Li said that he is pretty sure that he has a list open for 29th October, so that is just over two weeks, but then one of the nurses told him that they will look into it for sure and get back in touch with us to go back in asap if he is right so that we can start the pre op liver shrinking diet.
I called them today and they said that they still have to find out and so will call me tomorrow.
If its not this month then he said the other date is around 19th December.
Obviously I would LOVE for it to be this month but I cant allow myself to think that I will seriously get a call tomorrow saying to go in and do the pre op, I am more expecting a letter to arrive with a date or something.
I guess only time will tell.
Once again, congratulations xx
Steph xx
