Hi Karen

Welcome to the site. I am also waiting for surgery at the royal bournemouth. I have seen the surgeon too and the dietician and am still waiting for a date. When I saw the surgeon in July, they said about 3-4 months then...I'm not sure if there is a delay atm?
 
Hi I'm due for my wls in oct can't wait, you will find lots of help and support on this site. If you ever need anyone to talk to give me a message xx hope the op comes soon for you.
 
Hi and welcome, hope,you don't have to wait too long! X
 
Hi Karen and welcome to this great place. Ask any questions and you'll get loads of answers from pre and post oppers.
Best of luck to you.
 
Welcome Karen - waiting is the worse bit of the whole process... once the waiting is over you are on easy street!! Good luck - I am sure you will find this site a great resource, I know I have done. The people are all lovely and there will always be someone to share things with as they will have probably been through it too! xx

hi cath
thanks for your reply i was seen in april and was told 3-4 months also. I have called 3 times to be told they cant give more notice than 3 weeks for op date!! so its just a waiting game.

So I could be looking at early next year then. To be honest I don't mind waiting a bit as i know it will happen and it gives me some time to save. I don't get paid sick so the longer the better I guess for that. At least then I know I don't have to rush back to work and can recover at my own pace.

I'm having a sleeve so I'm not sure if they have you on a different waiting list for each surgery.

I hope you hear soon though :)
