Hello

I live in Huddersfield - but had my op in Leeds cos I waited too long on the list.

If you've done the bits they asked of you I'd phone whichever consultant you have's secretary!!.

Or the bariatric nurse.

There is a Calderdale and Huddersfield Bariatric surgery support group - attendance at which I understand is compulsory for at least one meeting and there is a Facebook page for it - under the above title.

Not quite sure exactly what the procedure is - have heard a multi-disciplinary team meeting mentioned. Have you had your session with the dietican and the bariatric nurse?

As a word of warning they went mad when I put on weight and I was deferred for 3 months and not allowed to put on any more - then I was put on the waiting list!!!

Hope you hear something soon

xxxxx
