It's all getting a bit real isn't it! (For you anyway ) I emailed Claire yesterday and I got a message back telling me she's not there so I rang the surgeons secretary and she said I'm not down for any other appointments except dietician so not to worry about it. 10lbs down today so I'm feeling positive about Friday!
That's fab 10lbs is great .... Claire's on holiday for 2 weeks that's why you got the email back handy to know you have the secretary's number I don't think I've got it let me know how you get on Friday can't believe my next appointment is January and then only a few more months after that till the op. . Think me sedman made it real when he said the next time you 'll see me is op day xThat's great thanks for letting me know
Did you bring in your food diary written down or on your phone? Mines in my notes section on my phone but I might write it out today so it's easier to see
Mine's written down in a diary Sophie had a flick through it coz she puts examples from it into the computer
Ahh that makes sense, getting a little bit nervous for tomorrow but from what everyone has said it should be absolutely fine, 11lbs lost as of this morning so I'm hoping their scales agree or are a bit kinder
For the MDT meeting, was you present during it Julia? I've heard mixed opinions on here whether the patient is present in the meeting or if it's just the team. Thanks!
Mr sedman said it was the surgeons and if needed other members of the team because they will be discussing loads. .. he just said would write to me afterwards
Ok thanks x
Meeting went well, I've lost a stone so she was happy with that. I saw Beryl and asked about the MDT meeting, I think she said she's happy to put me through for it, but she wasn't too clear. I'll guess I'll find out if you receive a letter and I don't get anything haha
A stone that's great news ( again 3lbs more than your scales just like mine ) ( although annoying the 2nd time it was only 1.5lb different diffrent scales in different rooms tho ) fingers crossed she puts it through in time for next week's mdt I'll let you know if my letter comes x xMeeting went well, I've lost a stone so she was happy with that.

As long as I don't put any weight on over Christmas I should be good for the January appointment, ok thanks!
My next appointment is January too as long as you continue the way you have been so far Christmas should be fine just be sensible x x plus you'll of lost more weight in the run up till Christmas anyway x x
I have been completely honest with the psychologist??
Yep, you're right, it's just about sensible choices and making sure meals are balanced, if I can continue with that we should be all good! I realised today that being weighed there was the first positive weighing experience of my life, hopefully they continue like that
I did ask mr sedman if id have to wait till Feb or if it would be now as Claire had said it would be feb at the owlss meeting and he said he would advise Claire it was to go into the next one ..... I'd be very suprised tho that if she's told you fab that she 'll let mine go through either ..... as mr sedman said it makes sense to get on the waiting list asap because it's still going to be well past our 6 months on tier 4 before we get a date anyway ... I'll email her and see what she says x xClaire emailed me today and said if I stuck to my weight loss goals then I'll be discussed earliest February at the MDT, which is disappointing but understandable. You've been really lucky getting in early Kate!
