Just couple questions, my father in laws paid for my surgery as I would never be able, will I be able to get my bloods, vitamins from my gp? X

 

[Paula Garner]

Yes you should. If they try telling you otherwise don't listen to them

 

[Saranne]

Thanks for your reply don't no what I'm doin on here lol keep getting lost and losing where I wrote my gp just looked at me funny? When I asked, so went to the nurse and she was really nice and said I'm sure we can?? Just feel I can't go ahead until I no for sure??

 

[Saranne]

I suffer with really bad anxiety ever since my little girl was diagnosed with leukaemia ( she's doing just fine after pre bone marrow transplant) but can't stop worrying bout things sending my partner mad lol x

 

[Paula Garner]

Regardless of whether your surgery is private or NHS, your GP has a duty of care to treat you and meet your health needs post op. good luck with you journey

 

[Paula Garner]

What surgery to you plan to have ?

 

[Saranne]

Thank you so much, so nice to be able to talk about worries, I wanted the band, but they told me they believe the bypass would work best for me x

 

[Paula Garner]

I've just had a bypass. Can I ask why you prefer the band ? Or are you going Jo go for the bypass ?

 

[Saranne]

Mainly the cost side of things, as would never afford bypass, come home feeling so down thinking well that's it no chance, and then last Friday my partners dad comes up with all the details and recipt... ( he must like me lol ) so grateful but nervous bout it also x

 

[Paula Garner]

Have you thought about applying for NHS funding ? Or do you not want to wait ?

 

[Saranne]

I been loads times to my doctor and all she kept saying was ten year waiting list ? ! X

 

[Paula Garner]

What a load of rubbish lol. Good luck, do you have a surgery date yet ?

 

[Saranne]

I know that's what I thought :/ yes 8th October x

 

[Paula Garner]

Ahh it will soon be here. Have you started your pre op diet ?
