Hi all
Just joined the forum and saying hi
My name is Paul and I live in North Kent. I have been accepted for a Gastric Bypass at St Richards Hospital in Chichester, I will be under the care of MR Guy Slaters team and hope to have had the operation by April although they did tell me February but my PCT tell me they are working to a 16 week waiting list and that will make it April. So if it is February then all the better.
Weight wise I am not that big with my BMI being about 38 but I do have a number of other medical issues that the Bypass is also supposed to resolve, things like type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep Aponea, COPD, and Arthritice in my hips and knees, and Acid Reflux. High Blood Pressure, and Hi Colestrol, all of which are supposed to be resolved by a bypass so hopefully I will be able to drastically reduce my huge list of medication that I take at the moment.
That's it for now, hope to chat more as I find my feet around your forum.
By for now
Paul
