Hello everyone,
As I've already told you i had an appointment today with Dr Simon Coppack at Royal London Hospital. It was only for about 10 minutes and i didn't have to fill any forms. Dr asked me few questions about my snoring, and previous weight loss. I willingly informed him about my diabetes, high cholesterol and PCOS. He wrote down the name of the medicines that I'm taking at the moment. He informed me that if it is only for fertility then i need to think carefully as there can be high risks after the surgery. I informed him that i have already spoke about this with my fertility specialists that i'm see and and he gave me letter saying that he knows about the surgery and hopes the combined strategies will help to lower my BMI and start the treatment. I was so shocked to know that they didn't have any record of this letter in their system. Dr Coppack took a copy of the letter for further reference and said i need to go thought the sleep apnea test and after getting the results, if everything goes well he will discuss the surgery options with me. So, here goes my confusion again. Is the surgery depending on the sleep apnea test? Dr asked me if i get up at night by chocking of coughing. and i said i get up few times at night but i can't remember if i cough or choke. I also said i feel very sleepy during day time. Dr coppack told me i will have to go through the test first and he will see me again in 4 months time. Also i have told him that i am seeing a dietitian for last 5 months and she said what ever I'm doing to loose weight is right as i have lost few kilos after the first app with the dietitian. I noted that he wrote down that big portion size is a problem for me. I'm happy with todays appointment as I'm going on a big holiday for 2 months so the time will be gone with the wind
