Hi Lisa-Em,
No one mentioned my GP and results of biopsy, I somehow knew that they were looking to see if your stomach carried a bug in that would need treatment prior to surgery and so from that I took the stance of no news is good news... the other side to that is if it is a positive result you are given medication to clear it up.
As for how long I waited is a whole different topic on its own.... what I would say is as a rule of thumb most people are waiting 6 months.. expect that and if its any sooner then its a bonus.. I agree with Borogirl that this period of time goes very quickly and I would make sure your fit for surgery and keeping the weight off.. now is not the time to relax your efforts.
From personal experience no amount of hounding them seems to make any difference so again I would say when you hit the 4.5 - 5 month stage start calling them and see where you are on the list... Be aware that this is a turbulent time and when they try and fob you off, its quite devastating..... your thinking do these people not realise this is taking over my life.. all I can say to you is try and get it into perspective, the maximum you should wait from endo to surgery is 26 weeks... work out that date and then you have something in your mind to work towards..
Good luck on your journery, and feel free to ask anything, if I can answer I will and if not someone will come along and give their insight into WLS at SRH.
