Hi everyone, very new newbie here waiting for further news on having a gastric bypass. I can't provide any more information on that yet other than I see my consultant in Derby again early October. When I first saw him in July, he suggested I had a bypass rather than a band. He gave waiting times etc., but I'm no further forward as he then said go away and promise me you will walk an hour a day. This I have done. It's been a long time considering I first saw my GP last October, she referred me to the Sleep Clinic and Dietician, subsequently they found I had sleep apnea and that appeared to hold things up. I now use a CPAP and manage quite well. I'm 57 years old and I'm hoping next time I see the Consultant I will feel a little more positive.
Anyway as I said my first post ... I have been lurking, looking at you all and reading your great posts and stories. Beth

Thanks hun! I was so excited but a bit nervous about putting it on here! I know some other people are having problems getting funding so I didn't want to offend anyone! It is an immense relief to hear that they have approved my funding and it truly does feel like a weight has been lifted!!

Meggie please don't feel you have offended I get excited for others when they get their funding. You have something to celebrate so don't be worried about doing so.
