And then it occurred to me. I don't know what to expect.
Will the PCT write to my GP and my GP ring me or write to me? Will the PCT write directly to me?
I dunno.........
Anyway postman came, I snatch the post from him as he comes up the path and....................... A letter from the council to tell me bin days changing!
Anyone know how i'll hear?
 
:D i know what you mean about attacking the postman lol, i am the same! I had a phone call from the PCT to tell me i had funding. She was a lovely lady and told me that i could of phoned them to see if there was any news (they had been trying to contact me for several days!!!). So it might be worth phoning if i were you xxx
 
thanks for your replies, it's only been two weeks since i saw my gp and she said they meet once a month so i'm a bit previous to ring yet, besides i wouldnt know where to get the number from any way!

Hello again gail-michelle,

Blackpool PCT is 01253 651200

You just need to ask for the person who deals with funding for bariatric surgery. If it is the same lady that i spoke to the other day she was fabulous. Fingers crossed they can help you. If a decision hasn't been made yet hopefully they will be able to give you some sort of idea on how long you will have to wait.
I didn't want to ring and nag anyone, but when i spoke to Margaret Dr News sec. in Manchester she encouraged me to ring - so i did and i am happy i did.
Hope this helps xxx (sorry for waffling :p)
 
:) no problem at all gail-michelle. Yes just do it!! If nothing else at least they can give you a clue as to how long you will have to wait. Mine was just under 4 weeks, but she told me that she had been trying to contact me for a few days. She was absolutely lovely and was just as excited as me when she told me i had funding, lol . Let me know how you get on, :fingerscrossed:
speak to you soon xx

pct

Hi Sue, I phoned up this morning and the switchboard lady didnt know where to put me through to, but anyway in the process I got the direct line of 01253 651237 the secretary is called louise I would have kissed her if she had been in front of me L.O.L so then she said it had been passed for a gastric bypass yesterday and the choice of hospitals was BMI cheadle Manchester & spire manchester and Mr Ammori does the surgery in both of these. I then rang them back to say I had made my choice of the spire because my aftercare would be in our own town (Bupa) so I then rang the spire up and spoke to Louisa Desborough to say I have nothing booked I.E Holls ect so any cancellations please feel free to contact me. Ha Ha cheeky I know but what the hell! I went to matalan and bought my hospital stuff and packed me case. Gail-michelle:p:p:p:p:p:p
