Thanks guys, just that the letter says allow at least 4 hours for appointment !!! Just waited so long for this I'm nervous now things are happening finally. This site has been a fantastic help too. Not sure if I'm meant to take Someone with me either?

Most of my pre-op appointment was spent waiting as there were so many people there.. they had also told me to allow several hours ;-) You can definitely take someone with you if you like, up to you.

I don't remember all the questions, but I remember I saw nurses and the anaesthetist. Bloods were taken, swabs, and they asked me questions about previous surgeries etc. You'll be fine! Good luck!

You will be fine hun. I had to allow 4 hours too. I had my pre assessment for my height,weight,blood pressure,MRSA swab and questions. Then sent for an ECG and had to bring the results back to the pre assessment department. Then I got sent to a seminar with 4 other WLS patients and when that was done got sent to do bloods.

Then my weight was checked again in an outpatients department and I was sent to see my surgeon and after went home. I'm with Homerton hospital. I went alone. one of the ladies had her husband there
