Mine's at the Spire Hospital Southampton on the 30th October - IF it goes ahead.

I have spoken to 4 different people this morning and no-one can answer me. In the end I left a message on the answer machine of the pre op nurses inthe hope that someone can tell me the result of my MRSA test.

No knowing is WORSE than knowing.

I'm pre op dieting, pre menstrual, I'm freezing cold and hungry. Right now I am one lady not to be messed with!!!!

Hiya Snow Angel, Firstly welcome to Minimins, it is truely a wonderful site with loads of lovely people at different stages in their wls journey. Have you noticed the Walsall Manor Posse thread? Take a look if you aint chucks.
I'm on day 5 of the milk pre op diet and due to have my bypass on the 22nd of this month at Walsall Manor. It is hard and I think the first 3 days have been the worst, it has been a little bit easier today. The good thing about WM is that there are two plans for the pre op diet and you will recieve a leatlet with both in. I think they are both equally as bad as each other, but they are importent and only for two weeks. So good luck chucks and check out other threads and keep posting. x

Are any of you doing it through the NHS and how long did you have to wait from first speaking to your GP to having the surgery? Seems I first have to see a dietician "for a few weeks" and get a referral from them?

 

[shelbell]

NHS can take anything from 6 weeks to 6 years Rozzi unfortunately. It varies so much from PCT to PCT. If it helps though, the others I've seen from London have had quite a quick process, unless going to St Richards as they have a long waiting list there.
