Hi Leanne

I was orginally referred by my GP last year, had my first appoinment in January of this year. They say in the letter they hope to treat within 18 weeks. So I think I will be sorted in 2010.

I am still in shock as at my last dietician appointment they said I had to lose a bit more weight before they would put me on the list but they obviously changed their mind.

I cant imagine how I am going to feel when I get a date.

Which hospital are you under?
 
i only went on the waiting list week and a half ago was told id be waiting up to end of feb , and got my date today for 16th december so enjoy being on the list because emagine how you will feel when you get that call for your date, i was in the middle of doing a hair cut god knows how i got through it i wanted to do more than burst lol

I will enjoy being on the list. I think if I was cutting hair when I found out, I might have cut their ear off.

Hi Jean

I am having my operation at St Georges Hospital in Tooting. They have said in their letter within 18 weeks but when I first referred they said 26 weeks.
 
Hi Ellie

I am under St Georges Hosptial in Tooting. Which hospital are you under?


Whichever, my Dr Decides to send me too either Imperial College or Homerton he said he would fax them.


A guy phoned me up from the Bariatrics team in St Georges we had a chat about the surgery at St Georges (I was doing some research and he returned my call) seemed a very nice chappie. Told me the waiting times could be anything up to 18 months there:eek:
