I’m being referred at last!!!! Now which hospital to pick!!

[Potnoodle88]

Hey all I’m sooooo excited that after nearly two years on tier 3 I finally am being referred for WLS.

I now have to tell them which hospital I want to be referred to out of a list. I am thinking either St George’s Tooting, Chichester or Chertsey.

Anyone picked any of these 3? Is there much difference between hospitals? I’ve read all their websites but they all just sound the same.

Would love to hear anyone’s experiences?

Update- I’ve picked Chichester. They said it will be about 9months from referral to surgery. Anyone had surgery at Chichester?

Hi I am nearly half way through tier 3 at Chichester end tier 3 in October they are saying December for MDT and op around April. They are lovely there so friendly, there are 4 appointments during tier 3 you have to attend wherever you live , if you don’t they take you off the list but certainly worthwhile, good luck with your journey

ThAts good to know! Thank you. I’ve already done tier 3 locally before being referred to Chichester for surgery. Is this the same as you? Or are you doing the tier 3 at the hospital? It’s so confusing! I’ve not heard anything since they sent off my referral over a month ago.
