Hi Vicky lovely to hear from you, good luck for friday and dont worry I find the hospitals, doctors etc are so nice during this process its just the PCT that appear to be a bit heartless in some cases....look forward to hearing how you got on..xx

So sorry to hear that you have had so much stress lately, very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother-in-law. (((Hugs)))

Don't worry about your appointment, just be honest and explain your weight loss struggles. They are really there for you after all. CG is right, the docs and such are trained to help you but the PCT are not. Wishing you the best of luck and make sure you make some notes before hand so you don't forget to tell them any important details or ask any questions you might have.

Keep us posted

woo hooo!
I went to the appointment with the dietician today at the hospital & she said a gastric bypass would be the best for me & that the meeting for funding would be before xmas & she will ring me as soon as the meeting finishes, so I will know before the festivities begin PHEW!!! .... I was shocked as I have put 3 stone on since May & 11lb on since September!!!
She thinks the surgeon will request sleep apnea (not sure how it's spelt lol) tests for my own safety during surgery but told me not to worry as that will only put me back about 6 weeks (I've waited this long so 6 wk won't make much difference will it?) I am wondering what that entails now lol - do any of you lovelies have any idea?? any info would be so much appreciated....
Keep warm
Love n big hugs

My sleep test was very simple. I was given an appointment at the clinic, I was fitted with a breathing monitor, shown how to put it on (it was a small box that strapped onto my chest). It had a finger leed to measure blood oxygen and a nose tube coming out of it. I took the thing home, put it on at bedtime and then returned it to the clinic the next day for them to read the results. It was very simple like I said but it was a bit weird/annoying to sleep with. Don't worry it will be nothing really.

Hey Vicki,

That's wonderful. Did you see Mary? She's ace, and she WILL call as soon as she has an answer on funding. SHe's great like that.
It wasn't long after i got funding that i got an appointment with Mr Pollard, so i'm guessing you'll get that through in January, then more than likely the surgery end of Jan, or in February, depending on the sleep test.

I was suppose to see Mary on the 1st Dec, but i couldn't make it to the appointment. I have an appointment with Mr Pollard Monday week, the 22nd, and i can't wait. I've lost nearly 4 stone!!! It sounds like a lot, but i still have so far to go, but i know i'll get there, and so will you hun.

I'm always here if you fancy a coffee. I've moved to Kirkstall, but am happy to drive out your way. Bet you can't believe it's all steam ahead now.
