15 weeks till 1st appointment

[xk1rstyx]

Well seeing some of my buddies posting they are having ops today makes me so excited for my turn. I can't imaging how they are feeling now to be finally getting the op.

I go on holiday in 8 days now and can't wait. My 4 year old daughter asks me every morning if it's holiday time today it's very cute but have to keep explaining that she has to wait a little longer.

Iv recently left my job as I had too many family commitments that were stopping me performing at my best. I'm going to enjoy the 6 weeks hols with the kids then get back to work in September.

The time is actually flying I think it's 8 weeks till my appointment now and I can't wait. I jus wanna hear them say I can have the operation and get the ball rolling. I don't think it will become properly real rill then.

Iv given up on the research for now as iv searched and read that much that the same things keep cumin up now so I'm not learning anything new.

I'm still set on having the sleeve done think this is the best option for me and I'm weaning off my anti depressants I now only have half a tablet before bedtime. I was worried me still being on them would prolong the process with extra appointments with psychiatrist.

Anyway that was a long rambling post most of which not relevant to this forum but jus needed to chat.

Hope your all well update me on your journeys.

So tomorrow's the big day. I feel like I'm revising for a test trying to remember every diet iv tried if it worked when I did it. So nervous I'm going to say the wrong thing. Can anyone advise me on what to expect at the first tier 4 appointment.

Write anything that's on your mind down and take it with you as I find if I didn't do that then my head went away and I forgot everything I wanted to ask lol, probably the most important question being when will I get my surgery lol. You could ask about supplements to take afterwards, I've got my own sort of diary that I write everything in like what I will need to take with me to hospital etc just so I don't forget also so I've got something other than waiting for that all important phone call to come through to focus on. Good luck for tomorrow looking forward to reading all about it xx

 

[jellykelly]

good luck you will be fine x

 

[xk1rstyx]

Thank you ladies. I feel sick this morning I'm so nervous an I haven't slept a wink. Caz1975's can u suggest any questions I should ask case iv forgotten something. X

 

[caz1975]

Everyone wants to know different questions, for me I wanted to know when would my op be, what op was the best long term and would suit me best,which supplements to take, would the pain relief when I get home from hospital have to be a liquid form, that's all I can think of off the top of my head xx

What hospital you at?

Well I had my appointment say doctor who tells you all about surgeries risks etc, saw specialist nurse who when into each surgery type in more detail then dietician who set me a target to lose one stone. Iv gotta have a group session, see the actual surgeon bur the main man is the psychiatrist who I will see after Xmas and if he is happy then pre op and anesatist jus before op. They said will b 6-8 months so between March - may I will hopefully have the operation. I think I will definitely need open surgery tho and I think I'm going for the sleeve.

I'm at Salford royal in Manchester hun, I had the appointment which u have had today back in July so I've got my fingers crossed that it's not gonna be too much of a wait as surgeon told me 2-3 months and that was 2 months ago now.
Did u feel as tho all what u wanted to ask got answered? Xx
