i know what you mean Alexa I had my swollow test at 3pm Dr said it was fine but I couldnt go till 7pm that night till the ward had received the ok
 
BE WARNED! If you tick you snore on that pre op form they tend to make you wait for sleep apnia test!!!

Don't worry though if you have to do a sleep apnea test - as Dr Hartland said the other day at the Walsall talk, they do this with your best interests at heart. If they know you have sleep apnea, okay it will delay your op until you've had it, but at least the anaesthetist is properly prepared. I ticked it but haven't been told yet I will have to have a test. Will let you know if I do though!
 
Thanks everyone for your comments and tips. I have to say it is hard, but gona be so worth while. I'm gona write a blog later about how I feel.
Welcome back Rach, hope you had a nice break. x
 
hi allie....
i got a letter confirming i was on the waiting list in november 2008....i;ve heard nothing else since...how long did you have to wait???????
:cry:cinders xxx
Hi Cinders, I would definately chase things up chuck, you should have heard something by now. Good luck. x
 
I ticked yes to the snoring and waking up in the night suddenly...

They said i needed sleep apnia test I tried to tell hem it was due to food reflux! but they wouldn't have it..

I went for a appointment with the sleep Dr he was soooo rude, I turned up on time and he was a hour late. He called me in asked my name date of birth and then said ill write to you!!! When I got back I phoned Ana who said she didn't know he didn't do any test as that was what I was referred for. the next date was March 09!

Thankfully the anesthetists appointment was before then and he understood that it was band related and food reflux so he canceled the sleep tests every thing was pretty straight forward after that.

But I did have to chase them up at every stage. They are so busy ... I basically took charge of my own case and got things moving at every step of the way.

I didn't phone up complaining and winging I basically just phoned to see if things have been done! if they hadn't well then my call just alerted them to the fact and they did it...
 
I have a hiatus hernia and have reflux at night sometimes - I never wake up suddenly though, unless a rather heavy cat has decided to try to get under the covers and is soaking wet and freezing!!!!
 
You can do it Allie you will be a looser before you no it

And Rach glad you are all relaxed now and had a nice break

Sounds lovely Rach did you get much snow in wales. You will have to treat yorself to a hot tub when you loose all your weight with the money you save not shopping in Evans lol
 
To be honest it was sunny when we got there and started to snow wuite badly today that is why we came home early because we were not due to leave until tomorrow.

It was brilliant though, nice and relaxing :D just me and my man :D

Sorry for my long posts lol I don't wish to come across as a know all just want to help you all out xx :8855:

Alexa, you are not coming across as a know all - I think its wonderful to have someone else on the forum who is so informative and has recently been through the process.

I do have all the relevant numbers though for Walsall - I think most of us have shared them openly on here at one time or another.

I had my inital consultation at Walsall on 14th January. After my original referral not arriving at Walsall (its amazing how many people that has happened to!) I got the GP to fax it and then when I rang Lesley to confirm they had it I was luckily given a cancellation for that night.

I rang Tracey Lowe to see whether my funding app had been sent off yet - i've forgotten what day I rang her - but when I spoke to her she said she was still sending off funding apps for people who had been seen before christmas. When I said "oh, OK, I'll ring next week" she said it was pointless chasing her and to leave it till the end of the month! Im not leaving anything to chance though and Im going to ring her tomorrow and see whether I'm on her list yet! Once I know it has been sent off then I will get on to PCT to chase from their end.

I have said openly on here before, It seems that the admin at Walsall is appalling. There are so many people on here that have had to deal with cock ups that have been made at Walsall. I will keep chasing things up as I want the op to happen ASAP so I can get on with my life.
 
nothing nicer than a weekend away with your man I'm taking mine to bruge end of March Can not wait get on the plane and fasten the seat belt lol

Don Vito is a brill name!!! I had a couple of experiences early last year when I thought I was having a heart attack - chest pain, arm pain etc. Both times I spent a good few hours in hospital after sitting on my bed panicking myself for a couple of hours before submitting to going in, and fortunately both times I had actually pulled a load of muscles in my chest / arm / back / side. I had to take a couple of days off the first time, and a couple of weeks off the second time, and the cats would barely leave my side. Which is annoying when you're boiling hot and they won't get out of the bed!!! God knows what life will be like when we get a puppy!!! :8855:
