Just wanted to say nice one to WLWB for getting her initial appointment out the way! They will apply for funding over the next few weeks, so hopefully you should hear then. Mine & Terri's funding was sorted just over 6 weeks after our initial appointment and then our pre-op dates came through a week or so after that.

Mind you, we did have some admin c*ck ups!

Thanks, Brun.
Does anyone know what I can expect on my first pre-op appointment?
 
first pre op is blood tests, mrsa swabs, respiratory function tests weight etc, and then if all these come back ok then your 2nd pre op is meeting mr youseff the consultant anaesthetist and after that meeting your given your op date. Well thats my understanding anyone please correct me if i'm wrong
 
Nothing new with me...still waiting lol :D

Hi all,
Yes you go to the same area of the hospital as you saw Dr Hartland,
they weigh you, do an ECG test, then a nurse swabs your nose, then she fills in lots of paperwork, which took at least 40mins, and then you have to go over the other side to the respiratory dept and blow into a pipe to reach a target value on a computer, you have to reach this value three consecutive times or start again.
And that's it.
Oh yes and in the respiratory dept they weigh you again and horror of horror's the scales are in the public waiting area.:eek:
 
I dont mind any of those test to be honest...

How long where you there?
 
Terri thats what happened to me and the anethsatist offered me about 5 differant dates to choose from

I am thinking that they do these test on first appointment?
 
i had a bit of a bad day yesterday had all sorts of doubts about having the op and everything that goes with wls. Am finding the time between apptments a bit of a drag and not helping cause i'm thinking way to much. But feel a bit better today and strangely enough the smow has helped, cause it reminded me that one of the main reasons i'm doing this is to help improve the arthritus in my spine, i have only walked from the car to the shop and back again and already my back is protesting and is now needing some tlc. So sorry if I've been a bit offish and not around over the last few days, but am feeling a bit better now. :)
 
The first appointment when I saw Dr Hartland and the dietian I was there about 3 hours a lot of sitting about doing nothing
