Hi Mark, Doctor referred me early May. My first appointment was Aug 4th and so around 4 and half months. I don't know if you are aware but you will need to keep chasing Walsall Manor as the admin is appalling to be honest. Where do you live as if you are Walsall the process is different?
I understand you being nervous and WLS is a hard and drawn out process. Keep in touch with this site as you will get all the support and friendship you need to see you through. I come on here every single day and everyone is so inspirational. We are all in the same boat and have one goal, this site has become like a second family to me.

Linski said:Hi Mark, Dr Kendrick was really nice. He really wants to know if you acknowledge the fact you have to change your eating habits in order for the bypass to work. Also that you take responsibility for what you put in your mouth. He had me sussed in about 5 minutes to be honest, I really liked him. Ifound he was very firm with what needs to be done and he understands completely why people over eat.
My advice would be to be totally honest with your answers and he will decide the correct route for you. This will either be a no and he is clear he is not in the business to say no just to make sure we are aware
of what we are asking foir and the future once done. He said I was the first person he had put straight through for a while.I put this down to the fact I had read about and explored the journey of the bypass and I was really truthful with him. Lastly he may ask to see you a couple of times to ensure you are committed. The lady before me had to see hiom again in 3 months and she was not happy but really he knows best.
Good luck and keep in touch.
