hey guys,
As the title suggests, having some issues getting my choice of surgery. Sleeve then future bypass has been suggested by couple of companies. Obviously don't really fancy a double op, never mind double price.
The way I see it, the sleeve would not be much use to me. With my sweet tooth, I just don't think the restriction is enough for me.
Meeting tomorrow with Mr Li so hopefully know more then, and have appointment with Mr Hewin towards end of month. As Mr Li appears to work for 2 or 3 companies, I should have better idea of options then.
Quite oddly I contacted Nuffield health in Leeds who advised me senior management said they don't perform bypasses to patients over bmi 60. Contacted a different company who use Nuffield hospital in Leeds. I told them what Nuffield said, they advised me that they use that hospital, and they then contacted Mr Halstead - a Consultant Surgeon there, who advised they could perform a sleeve/bypass. Very very strange. I see Mr Hewin from that company on 28 November.
Total minefield.
