[kate_86]

Hi, I've got my date for 19th August at Derby, im starting to get nervous now. Also worried because I haven't quit smoking yet, which i really need to do before the op.

ooo good luck hunni keep your mind focused on the end results of what your op will bring and that maybe could help you stop smoking x

Big congratulations to you. It feels very exciting but very nerve wracking too?

Could you get help from your practice nurse with the stopping smoking? patches etc?

I've never smoked but as an ex-nurse I can say categorically that you don't want to be smoking so soon before or after an anaesthetic......sorry love, I'm not being judgemental at all...it's just that as I'm sure you know) you can have horrible chest complications if you smoke.........so I hope you get past this hurdle soon.

Hugs, Charis xx

Giving up smoking and trying to lose weight at the same time must be so hard. All strength to you ladies.

My GP referred me in November and i saw Mr Ahmed in december and he said once funding had been approved I would go straight on the waiting list but I had to go back to see the dietician in march and if I hadn't lost weight he was going to take me off the waiting list but luckily I had lost weight so I was kept on the waiting list. My first date for my op was the 8th July but I had to cancel it as I was taking my mum away for her 50th birthday so i got the 19th August.

thanks for all the lovely comments. I have something to look forward to so hopefully that will be an incentive to quit smoking (I'm hoping)
