hello all

[kphorrox]

good morning everyone its seems a little quiet on here lately so thought i would write a update.
although nothing really exciting to tell her we go...
i am at the end of my weight management now it has been really interesting and will be a great tool for when i hopefully get a bypass the course runner is going to write a letter to the pct for me to say i have attended.
I have the hospital on the 17th regarding sleep apnea and i still have not recieved my letter with contact number reason for my post.... on the first appointment is it just for a chat or does it involve more ???
any way keep up the good work
take care and best wishes to all

Hi Kerry.Glad things are moving for you at last hun, but not sure about the appointment thing as I didn't have the sleep apnea thing

roll on the day i can join the losing team and offer advice to people like you peeps have done for me.
these sites are so important and a fantastic resourse for researching and to find out the relivant information to the individual.
and to make you aware that not everything is black and white pink and fluffy

Hi kp

glad to see you and that things are hopefully heading in the right direction.

Well done with attending the weight management programme.

When I had my app for the sleep apnoea there were 3 appointments all together.

App 1 (may).........consult with the specialist

app 2 (june)........go collect machine, use machine overnight and take back next morning

app 3 (july)......... go collect results from specialist who then sent them back to the wls people.

It is done differently in different places though.

Take care Xx

For me, at the Whittington, you have your initial appointment with the thorassic team to talk about your need for the test. Then you have the actual sleep study (at hospital or using a machine at home) and then you have to go back to get results if there is an issue. She said if there was no issue then they'd just call me, to save me going in again. Not sure whether the process will be the same for you!!

im trying to find the phone number for blackpool hospital to find out the process as another hospital needs the results asap

 

[Meggie]

Do you have a bariatric co-ordinator?? They would probably have the numbers you needed!!

 

[kphorrox]

just phoned hospital and they have told me i turn up they will do some tests they i go home with machine and then i assume i take back they also put my name on list for any cancellations .
