Hi and Welcome
I live in the Bassetlaw Primary Trust area and i have been on Olistat for about 4yrs off and on,but earlier this yr we had a locum doctor who suggested i tried reductil,after a few weeks i received a letter from my practice saying they didnt recommend reductil and i was to come off it straight away,i went to my doctor and asked if i could have a referal for bypass/banding as i was fed up of yoyo dieting.
Within 2 months of seeing my doctor i received a appointment to see Mr Roger Ackroyd (biatric surgeon)at Sheffield Hallamshire Hospital,and within 3 months of seeing him i had a date for my bypass operation so for me it was so quick.
But i know it is a very different story for alot of people on here and i wish it was so straight forward across the UK but it isnt to be .
Good Luck.

Thanks for that. I had actually read ur story, but wasnt sure if u were private or nhs, til now.
When you got a date for ur bypass, how long was that?
I have read a lot about Mr Ackroyd, him being a leading surgeon in the field.
Does he put you at ease? Im sure you were nervous about the bypass, was he ok with you?
Good luck with ur weight loss! xxx
