how many visits to hospital for wls

[Fizzypeach]

Can any one help me? I live in West Sussex quite close to Chichester but their list is closed.

I have been giving the option of waiting until St Richard's list reopens (probably Nov) or going to a London hospital where the list may be shorter and open now!

I have a problem with my mobility and dread having to go to London for lots of visits, pre and post op.

I don't know what surgery I will have - but am favouring a bypass. How many times will I have to go to the hospital if everything is okay and no complications?

Also is there one London hospital better than the others?

Thanks

I would ask to see when the list might re-open. Having been at another hospital (one in London - though I doubt they are ALL the same!) I had a bad time.

St Richards is brilliant in every way, even if you might have to wait a few more months, I would recommend it.

Good luck.

Hi Fizzypeach
With you having mobility trouble you could ask the hospital if they could lift you at the bus/train station some hospitals do that and the is no harm in asking . Take care .

Hi Babyflower

Do you mind if I ask which hospital in London you went to?
