North Tees- questions??

[kelly1]

Hi All!

I had my seminar at North Tees on Wednesday, got my target set at 7kg and am now busy trying to shift that ASAP! Lol! They said at the seminar that I will have an appointment soon, I think with the dietician and the consultant? Is that right? They then said that I have 3 months to get to my target, but what if I get there quicker?? I've read loads on this site, and can see that people have had the op quicker than this! Can anyone shed some light? I'm working really hard already, an know I can loose this 7kg fairly quickly!! Xx

When you next see the dietician and consultant, they will check your weight then and if there's a good amount of progress made, they do tend to move you up the list.

Impress them and they'll impress you straight back. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply Joe! I'm working very hard so here's hoping I get moved up a little bit! Have you? X

Have you had your op then Jo? I had my app with the dietician last week and had lost 5kg in 2 weeks! Woohoo! They were chuffed and asked me to go back in 4 weeks to meet with consultant! Mr Gopinath also wants me to have endoscopy done b4 I see him so when I do I can go straight on the list! How long did ur op take from seeing the consultant? Any info appreciated x

Hi Kelly,

Hi everyone,

I am going into North Tees tomorrow (18th) to have the bypass. I am scared excited and lots of other emotions all mixed into one. If any of you have had the bypass how long will i be in hospital for? Mr Rao and Mr Gopinath are my surgeons.

Thanks
J

Hi,
There's a few of us here that have had bypass recently at North Tees. Mine was three weeks ago tomorrow. Like you, went in on the Monday morning and was allowed home on the Wednesday night. It's lovely to get home to your own bed . I had Mr G and he is lovely, visited the ward twice a day.
Good luck for tomorrow, do let us know how you get on .

NTGH seems to be the quickest place in the country.

Hi there all on the thread. Had my op at North Tees by Mr Rao. Never had any pain of any sort even on the day of the op and its changed my life. Never regretted having it done once tho I did have a few wobbles beforehand which is why it took me a bit longer.

27/5/13 Appointment for weight loss with surgeon (4lbs off goal)
10/6/13 Appointment for weight loss with Mr Gopinath (he said yes!!!)
