Yeah I have the bloods done on 20th march and anthesist on the 7th April when do they put u on the pre op diets is anybody having to inject themselves I am not looking 4ward to that what diet as everyone picked I don't think I will pick the dairy one I love my food

 

[tesmaralda]

When I spoke to dr hartland at the end of october he said they only do the milk diet, so unless I think there is a medical reason I don't think there is a choice.

Terri

What medication are u on Hun for your gallstones I use to be on tramadol but they took me off coz it would knock me out within 10 minutes but now I am on diclofenac and it's been alrite but I have to take the strong co codamel with it

 

[tesmaralda]

I am on co codamol for my back and when its really bad take diclofenac but have to be careful cause tramadol and diclofenac send me loopy (yes more so than I am now, it is possible) and they send me to sleep so I tend to stick with the co codamol and just put up with the niggliness that remains, as my 2 year old would demolish the grove let alone the house whilst I was zonked. Its only really the last week or so that they have played up but I did try to cut down on my pain meds, (big mistake as the week before my monthly my back pain intensifies ten fold and yes it appears its that time(That may sound a bit vague but with PCOS I never know when I'm gonna get one til I get the symptoms or it just happens). I think I will habe to go and speak to my GP and see what he can suggest.

I must have been one of the luck ones. I didnt have to see a psychologist or do any tpye of weight management think. I saw my doctor in October for referral and had op on 2nd Jan, I could have had it just before xmas as the anethsatist offered me 4 dates to choose from

 

[chivasgirl]

crikey that was fast Teen. I believe Stoke doesn't refer anyone unless they will agree the funding.

 

[Brunetteandred]

It is fast! I saw my doc end of September and just on waiting list. lol!
