Thank you for that information. All that was discussed in my last appointment. Except the number of surgeries and complication rates. I saw pictures on the computer on the bypass and sleeve and it was discussed in depth. How they do it, what they do. And why they would need to cut. You...

I just assumed it was Dr Rubino but now you say that im not sure if it was him lol. I should be seeing him in the next appointment so i'll find out then if it was him or not. I'll have to take a look at the letter that came after the appointment that states what we discussed as the name of the...

Hi, the appointment went well. We spoke about the different surgeries. Asked me which one I wanted. He then gave me details to make an appointment for an endonoscopy and told me in my next appointment with him he will discuss my results and I will be put on the waiting list. He also said it...

Thank you for the link. Your journey was tough. Can't believe that nurse!!!

Thank you

I think i'll need to write down questions to ask too. I done a little research on here on that surgeon. People only have great things to say about it. I hope the next 9 weeks fly by. You've been such a great help in answering all my questions. Thank you ☺

Ok. Thanks. What usually happens in this appointment?

Hi, I've just received a letter for an appointment at Kings College Hospital at the general surgery clinic with Professor Francesco Rubino at the Golden Jubilee Wing. Do you know what this appointment may be about? Is this the other surgeon at Kings?

I will do. Thank you

Wow, congratulations on the weight loss. You must be feeling fantastic. Hopefully I won't have to redo any tests. I just have to try to be patient and wait for my appointment to find out what the next steps are for me. Thanks for all your responses.

Thank you for all that information. It's very appreciated. I have heard of the liver shrinking diet. I don't mind if I have to do it. If all surgeons have good reputations and I have a choice of surgeon i may just go with the one who has the shortest waiting list. Were you also seen at Guys...

Thanks for your response. We were given a pack at the first group meeting at St Thomas' where we were told about the different types of surgeries. In the pack it had information about waiting times. It mentioned after the MDM meeting at Guys there is a 4 week wait before you get an appointment...

Hi, thanks for your response. I hope thats what they mean when they say consideration. I have done lots of research and would like to have the bypass. Its something i mentioned to the dietitian at the first Guys hospital appointment.

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone could help me as im a bit worried. I was refered by my GP to St Thomas in February 2017. I was seen at St Thomas' Hospital for a group barriatric educational meeting in April 2017. Then in June 2017 I was seen at Guys Hospital Medical Obesity Clinic where i...

Thanks. Hope all goes well for you on the 19th ☺
