Saw my GP beginning January 2010 and still waiting for my first appointment so I think it's going to be a long haul.

On my wl journey at last
My journey so far has taken FOUR YEARS, been turned down twice for funding, have finally got approved this year, still not sure when I will be having the op, had my first appointment at hospital, saw specialist nurse, dietician and surgeon. Now got to wait for pre op then the actual op date, probably another six months :-((((

5 months start to finish for me - would have been 4 but op got delayed...and my BMI was around 45.......
I am thinking I am a lucky girl!
I saw my GP on 7th December 2009
My first appointment at Homerton was 13th January 2010
My second appointment at Homerton was 18th January 2010.
I have my pre-op appointment on 31st March 2010
If there are no problems I am booked in for my bypass on 16th April 2010.

I was referred by my GP in March 2009. I went to an information seminar in June 2009 and had my first appointment with the surgeon in October 2009.
I had a gastroscopy in November 2009 and am having my surgery on 30th March 2010.
The process took 6 months less than the usual route at Sunderland as I had lost some weight between the information seminar and the clinic appointment (and had a written record of that).
There are such wide differences across the country.

Totally in love with Mika
From seeing my GP - surgery was 19 looooooong, hard months.
Totally worth it though.

Mine will be exactly 10mths from GP referral to surgery. It would have been around 8mths but I had some paperwork go missing and a delay in getting some of the test appts arranged. I don't mind though as my surgery date couldn't have been arranged at a more convenient time for me and I will be 100% prepared when the day comes!

Hiya Lostinmy30's,
this is the complete wrong way to ask you this but because im a new member i cant send private message. can you give me any info about the glasgow & clyde route to get band?
I attended my GP yesterday to ask about gastric band.
I have been referred to Weightloss managment as this is the road in to get funding ( i think! ) up at the royal i think.. need to call within 2 weeks to get an appt.
GP thinks i would be a very good candidate as i have bmi of 45, im injection controlled diabetes and im only 21!
all advice would be appreciated!!
