Hello All

Thought I would do a quick hello post, I have viewed this forum for a few days now, But felt that I should stop lurking in the shadows.

So a bit about me.

I had a Gastric Bypass on the 28th January, All went well no real pain to speak of.

Had my two week consultation and so far I have lost 2 stone 6lbs, Which is an awful lot.

My Name is Matt, I am 26 and I am from Guildford, I had my surgery at BMI Chelsfield with Dr El-Hasani and he was a very pleasant man, Now I'm looking forward to losing the weight and getting healthy to make my future life easier than what it would of been being overweight

Hi did you get an appointment to see a dietician at Chelsfield ? I'm not sure what happens regarding this. I'm one of Mr.E H's NHS patients, even though he did my op sat Chelsfield Park.
Cheers

I was a private patient via chelsfeild and I do seethe dietician there.
My friends on Fb that had NHS ops at Farnborough see his NHS bariatric Nurse star for their follow ups and dietician appointments also at Farnboroguh. Might be worth giving them a ring, you normally see the dietician after the sis week surgeon check.
