Operation Dates!

I'm having my bypass done at Thornbury Hospital in Sheffield by Dr. Ackroyd on the 30th June.
 
hello,

would the people who are having a gastric band mind telling me if the band is perminent or if they will be having it removed when they reach their goal weight. Im in cambridge, if you dont mind could I ask if your attending Adden, then I will know their policy. I was offered surgery a while ago but refused, now think its the only way forward.

thanks

Kim
 
Hi Kim I was under Addenbrookes obesity clinic but was told they don't do the surgery so if I get funding for bypass I will need to travel to UCHL or Luton and Dunstable. Good luck
 
Hi there,
I recieved a letter from the hospital saying they had postponed my gastric bypass by a week so it was 15th July but is now 22nd July

Bypass, Band or other AJ?
 
Hopefully (i say that as I know how things can get cancelled/ postponed on the NHS) having a bypass at Salford Royal at the start of August.

let us know when you get a date Fuze and we'll add you to the list :)
 
I already have the 3rd of August as a date but being the worry wart that I am I just constantly worry that the date could get postponed or something (this is due to my past dealings with having surgery in the NHS, I had my gallbladder out a few years ago and was cancelled twice due to there being no beds in the hospital). Anyway I need to stop banging on and be a bit more optimistic!
 
I'm now definitely booked in for my banding op on Tuesday 21st July :eek: with WLGS @ Preston :)


Well, scrap all that, lol!

About 10 minutes after typing this & booking hotel accommodation, WLSG told me there had been a change in plans!

I am now having my banding done by Roger Ackroyd in Sheffield on Wednesday 22nd July!
FIngers crossed there are no more changes 'cos it's shaken me a bit tbh!
