Surgery on Merseyside

[Big an Bouncy]

Where does everyone have their surgery on Merseyside?I am under Prof.Wilding at Walton Hospital.Been seeing a Dr.Aditya at the weightloss clinic.He said I can have a bypass when my weight goes back up to bmi of 45 again(I lost 3 stones and have put some of it back on again!)Go back in September.

Hi I'm so glad Ive seen your post. I have my first appointment at Dr Wildings clinic on Friday and dont know what to expect.

I dont know what hospital they use, sorry. But I will add it to my list of questions for Friday and let you know if I find out.

I want a bypass and cant wait to get started. I have a questionnaire to complete and have to bring a urine sample with me. Can you tell me what happens next?

I think they are the same as Wirral and use Spire Hospitals Regency Macclesfield. Could be wrong though.

Did I read your thread right are they asking you to put weight on?

Yup!Crazy isnt it,you have to have bmi of 50 on Merseyside.Or prove you have tried all sorts to get weight off and keep it off and failed.I have bad snoring though not sleep apnea,terrible hip pain,lower back probs and borderline diabetes. I have just had a pelvic floor repair,(4 weeks ago)just starting to feel ok after that as stitches got infected,have depression,but who wouldnt when their nether regions were dropping out!sorry guys!!I have been under Walton for nearly a year now.You have to show all attempts have been made to lose weight,co.morbidities,ie all other drs you are under for different probs etc.Doc said if I lost weight yet again and put any on or hit bmi of 45 I could have a bypass!I wanted a band but he said bypass would be better.

Do you have PCT funding approval?

I cant believe you have been with them 1 year and still no operation.
