Hi shell, mr d said he has just got on top of a backlog from a bed shortage over winter, he said in 4 weeks he has done 31 ops. And the average wait is now back to 12/18 weeks, but with me needing tests I'm 3 months b4 my nx appointment , but would rather wait 3 months n make sure than well ya know complications but I'm on the right path now so just gotta get this test outa way x

that's soon omg im excited for you, I know its a lot to take in im guessing the endoscopy went well, ive not been sleeping to well since the seminar worrying about these tests hopefuly the appointment wont be long coming through the post and I can get it over with, I have no idea what the tests are ive looked up on the nhs site bout sleep ap... I don't know how to spell it sorry lol its kinda put my mind at rest ! so you will soon be on the liver diet , you will have to let me know how you get on its somet im not looking forward to tbh the lack of energy can be annoying when u have kids to get off to school but we all have to do it a small step on our journeys. take care and keep smiling lisa x

 

[shell13]

Thanks lisa.i will keep you updated.im hoping i dont lose much energy at present,coz i too have two teenage girls and a six year old boy and a ten year old girl at home.as well as my hubby to look after.but the dietician did tell me they only put us on the liver reducing diet for a week,which i thought was pretty good.also ive lost more weight than was asked,and mr dresner said that was good coz it makes the op easier for him.the op will take longer has he has to take the stitches out of the nissen and repair the hernia.keep in touch with people on here for info on the sleep apneoa study.sorry i carnt help on that one.i know what you mean about not sleeping ,and waiting for appts.i think we are all the same.just try take it easy and take care.keep in touch.xxx
