Hi there. I had my bypass at the whit but I had Mr alhamdani. My mum had Sufi abt 2yrs ago. He's very professional and I've only heard good things abt him.
I found the care at the whitt brilliant. All the staff were so good to me and kind and polite.
I packed toiletries, underwear, p.j.s, book or whatever u like to do to pass time. The extras I found handy were...dry mouth spray, nas juice(cos the water isn't very nice) Vaseline and earplugs or music with headphones. Oh don't forget slippers
Anything u want to know just ask.
Do u know abt the support meetings?

hi wannabeyummi

thanks for the quick reply and more importantly thanks for the info it has all been noted and i feel abit more at ease after reading what you have said about mr sufi and the staff at the whit i think the only thing i want to know is do they have wifi there for me to be able to get on the internet if i bring my laptop and what sort of juices will i be allowed to bring also i have been to the support group 1 time but i am not local as i live in northwest london (wembley ) and its a fair way to travel for me

Hi
I don't believe they do have WiFi but I never asked to be honest. The first day and a morn I could only sip tiny bits of water but the second eve I added a bit of no added sugar dilute juice. U feel quite full drinking ur meds to begin with lol. The support grps are so helpful... The Thurs b4 my op (which was Tues) I went to the grp because I was having 2nd thoughts but by the end I was fine and knew it was the right decision.
Good luck x
