Hi Juliep I am a little way along as I have my pre-op assessment next Wednesday followed by a pain management clinic the following Tuesday.
My journey began whilst in cardiac rehab about 18 months ago it was suggested that losing a bit of weight would be a good idea so I agreed. I was placed on a weight loss program and met a really nice Doctor called Mr Hartland. He monitored my progress over the following months without much weight loss and recommend me for WLS at the Manor. My 1st app. was back in August where you get bombarded with loads of info, target weight loss, options on which surgery you would like, dietary info, blood tests, filling in various forms . You meet so many people it's a little overwhelming. The next few appointments were all about reaching the target weight until November when I met Mr Kendrick the psychologist who cleared me for the surgery. 4 months later I signed the consent forms and here we are.
