Assessment Day

[Jaybo78]

Well tomorrow is my assessment with the Oxford Bariatric Clinic and I’m getting quite nervous. Up till now the realism of what i am embarking on has not quite set in, as i figured it would be something that would be out of reach or take a long time to get to this point. and now the assessment is here i am realising that i may be about to embark on a life and physical changing part of my life, if they find me suitable and the NHS PCT give the team the go ahead. All I have ever know is being big! and the issues both mentally and physically that i have grown up with. I’ve never been what is considered a socially acceptable weight, so the realisation that this may happen is both exciting and scary.

but anyway enough of my silly rambling, tomorrow from 1pm I will be seeing the following:

Consultant Surgeon or Registrar
Dietician
Nurse
Psychologist
Anaesthetist

then i guess it’s in the teams hands to decide my fate
