Ok the news is I've been ACCEPTED!!!!
I've had my Bloods taken!
Mr Ackroyd, was friendly and professional, managed to make him laugh, I told him I was interested in the Bypass. He does more Sleeves on people than the Bypasses but if I want a Bypass He would do it I can have one! Which is great.
My next question was: if I was your Son what would you like your Son to have. He replied 'Sleeve' every time!
I accepted the Sleeve I have 4 weeks to decide! He will do either but he suggested that the Bypass is mainly for Diabetics or Drinkers and he says I'm neither one of those.
He says I'll be going for preops in next 3 weeks and surgery will be in next 2 to 3 months, but once I've had preop he says it will come round very quickly.

I had my sleeve at the Northern last week. I said I wanted the sleeve in part because of existing bowel problems but also because I'm on life long none weight related medication and malabsorption would make managing my condition harder. No one mentioned drinking to me. It's interesting to hear his take on it through and I think asking him what he'd want his own child to have is an inspired way of getting to the heart of the matter
