Hi Kate ,

Just wondering when you went on the waiting list? I went on in November 2010 but although I want to ring his secretary and get a rough idea I don't like to bother them lol

Thanks

Wendy

hi im also on the waiting list and ive been waiting since last year and i was told 2 years ,so i asked to go on a different waiting list for a new hospital with a shorter waiting list ,so im off to the st Richards in chichester in sussex my first app is the 13 may so fingers crossed ,since ive been waiting ive put on another 25 lb and had to go on blood preasure tabs .

It's amazing how different all of the PCT's are. I've been told we can't move PCT's for a shorter list (although I could to have my tonsils out) and that if I gain any weight at any point I'm off the programme with no 2nd chances.
I suppose I just look like I need a bit of tough love lol.

Are you all at Kings College? Is it Pauline you speak to? I am at Kings but under Mr Patel, been on the waiting list since Feb 2011 - would love to hear some positive things about the waiting lists! Thanks x

Hi all

I went to see MR El Hassani around June last year and was told then his waiting list was two years, that why my GP sent another referral of to St Richards where I should be having my op at the end of this month. St Richards waiting list is only about 12weeks.

Hi , i was under the PRUH at Farnborough, I had my op done at Chelsfield on the 02.01.12, I was one of the lucky cherry picked to get the list down !!
Hope your waits aren't too long

Hi

Have you tried asking your GP to do another referal to one of the National Barriatric centres.

Thats what mine did when I was told the Waiting list was 2 years, I am now 5 days away from my surgery, if I stayed with MR EL Hassani I would still be two years away.

Ask your GP or their secretary if they could do another referal.

I am also in North Kent and got my second referal to St Richards in Chichester, when I went to see them last December they where working to a 12 week waiting list, and my Op is going to be bang on that 12 weeks.

You should get your op around May/June i would have thought, it will prob take you longer to get onto another waiting list or you may not get funding, i know its hard but you are nearly there.
