I've been referred to kirklees weight management scheme which runs out of Dewsbury hospital. 2 weeks ago I went to an initial meeting with a health care worker who managed to get my bp up to 212/159 and then down to 95/57 so not very comforting for me. But I now need to wait for a consultant, she didn't say who to contact me for my first appointment then I have 12 weeks of weight management appointments with dieticians and physiotherapists

Specialk, do they actually refer you to dewsbury bariatrics team when you attend that first meeting ?
Dawn , have the health advisors actually already referred you to dr Raj at dewsbury already, before your first appointment? Sorry for all the questions, I just couldn't get much out of the lady I rang when I got the first letter telling me to ring for an appointment. Then a couple of weeks ago I received a letter from Milton Keynes saying I haven't rung for an appointment even though I have one at ponte on 28 th . Hope they've got it right and the letter wasn't to make one at the hospital to see surgeon??!!
No good for my BP all this haha x

You shouldn't have had a letter from Milton Keynes?!? Is that where your originally from?
Once you attend the first meeting they talk you through your options and put you in contact with your chosen option, either weight watchers, physio and dietitian or the surgical option, then you have to wait for the consultant to get in touch
Hope that helps

Hello, I seemed to skip the first one that you got, my first appointment on 28 nov was with Dr Raj at Ponte diabetic part. That took 7 weeks from referral being received. He said go on the 12 week shape your weight course in jan and after that you will come back to here and I will put in for funding. Today I rang the wakefield number as I hadn't heard when it starts and she said he shouldn't have told you January as one only started last month! She says the next 12 week course is mid Feb.

That's probably Dr Raj then, mine was in Ponte diabetics centre. He asked lots of questions, how far you can walk and how likely you are to nod off during certain activities. He listened to my heart etc and when I brought the surgery up he said "well even people who have had surgery put weight on"! Didn't seem to want to talk about that yet but said keep a food diary and lose 5%. Think if you've no comorbs its 10%. You may see Dawn then! Good luck, let me know what he says x

Well you might, sounds like they want you to prove you can change your eating habits first, hence the s/w course. The questions about sleep are stuff like would you nod off reading a book, short drive in a car, long journey etc. I've lost 1 and half stone in 3 months but its hard . Such a long process though!
