Hi Sarah, nice to hear from you again. I'm so sorry that you are feeling so low and I really feel for you about your struggle to get WLS. Try and keep hassling, see GP a lot about it - particularly about how down you are feeling maybe they can chase it up. Also phone the people responsible for the decision making meeting and chase them up - quite a lot of NHS letters seem to go missing.
Very best of wishes to you Sarah

[Blackdolphin17]

Hi Sarah, keep positive ... keep seeing your GP and decision makers. I know that its hard to be patient (thats why I went private) especially when you want something this much! Hang in there ...

Hi hun pls dont give up can u not call the bariatric co ordinator and see what is going on. Going to Ww now can def be a positive thing while u r waiting for things to go ahead as when u have ur next meeting you can show them u r serious bout ur surgery and losing weight.
Is ur funding in place and are u under Mr Manur at the Homerton.
Take care hun and hope u get some answers very soon xxx

 

[dsarah1977]

im under mr mannur keep ringing bariatric co-ordinate andshe says will be this week every week x

im under mr mannur keep ringing bariatric co-ordinate andshe says will be this week every week x

Is your funding in place and is their a bariatric nurse who works under Mr Manur that might be able to help you.
Maybe you could email the bariatric co ordinator and CC a copy to Mr Manur to make sure he gets wind of whats going on xx

 

[rybens]

id rather be told straight than letterbox watching every day, its not nice i know to keep ringing them but needs must x

 

[margaretmc]

Hi Sarah
Is it a band , bypass or sleeve your looking for . I wonder if you could try Charing Cross ?

Oh hunny, I'm so sorry you feel so down

Whatever you do, do not give up, you obviously what this so much, other wise it wouldnt bother you that it is going so slow. Why not just carry on with your weight watchers (im assuming thats what "ww" stood for) and consentrate on that while letting the wls proceedure carry on. Youll be not worse off if you just carry on the weight loss while waiting for surgery.

Try and take your mind off the whole thing, do things that you know you enjoy doing (not food related) and just relax.

Dont give up Sarah, why not give yourself a break. We are always here for you. xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[dsarah1977]

hi funding wont b applyed 4 until i have the decision will call bariatric co ordinator tomoz as i know they had meetings today bariatric nurses not beenm no hbelp to me x

 

[swizzlestick]

Good luck Sarah

The waiting game is so stressful isnt it

Xx thinking of you.

 

[PinkyButtonz]

Hi Sarah,

I thought you had funding. Sorry to hear Bariatric Nurse hasn't been able to help.
I think they usually intend to meet & discuss cases, but often get delayed in theatre.
I hope you get some good news tomorrow. Don't be a stranger were all here to support you.
