Does anyone know the number for his secretary? I can't find it anywhere. My therapist has asked me to call him.

Mr El Hasani waiting list
- Thread starter kitkatkate
- Start date
Hello! I am afraid I don't know too much about the NHS journey as I was told I wouldn't be able to go on it as although my BMI was over 50 I didn't have any co-morbidities...... so, I scrimped and saved and went private.....anyways, I thought I would let you know that after a bit of research I have worked out that Mr El-Hasani does perform at least 2 bypasses a day at least 2 or 3 days a week for the NHS so maybe you can work it out from there? For instance, if he performs 6 ops in a week then that's at least 312 a year so I am sure your waiting list number doesn't seem so bad now - hope this helpsxx
Hi Kateyloo,
excuse me for being a complete numtie but how did you manage to research that info, as it sounds like something to keep an eye on, but I wouldnt have a clue where to begin.. d'oh

Hi Sarah - I research for a living so just used my skills and after a lot of searching/reading of different articles I analysed the quantites and that's how I came up with the figures - the only thing I can suggest is make the most of the internet - you will have so many questions and if you make a note of them and then google them when you have the chance I am sure something will come up - whether it be a UK answer or info from our pals across the pond in the USA. Failing that, this website is a god send and there is always someone around to help answer questions or compare your journey - good luck! xx

I have my date! 6th April!
Hi
I would still recomend trying to get re referred to a different hospital, MR El-Hassani's waiting list is far too long, he is working on his own and fitting them in between his normal surgeries. They told me last September that the waiting list was 2 years so would be looking at September 2013 for my op, igot it changed and had my bypass last month, the Hospital I went to do so many as they have a dedicated surgical team that do nothing else other than WLS That there waiting list is only 12 weeks and they ave some of the best surgeons in the country doing there surgeries.
Get your GP to do another referral for you, after all you don't want to wait 2 years only to find the NHS has changed the acceptance rules again or even stopped the funding because it was costing too much.

Hi All
New to this forum but really enjoying your posts...
I signed my paperwork on 23 November 2011 and have been offered surgery on 30th April 2012 at Chelsfield. I was told it would be at least a 12mth wait so I'm a bit shocked to be honest! I will be checking the progess of others in a similar situation to give me courage as I'm still apprehensive about having surgery.
Good luck to everyone on here. x

How long before your date did you find out? Is it normal to think they will change their mind and not allow me to have it done?
How are you finding it?

I found out about 2 weeks before my op, was there was not much notice. Even when I was walking down to theatre I kept thinking this is not happening lol.
Even now I still can't believe after all the waiting it finally happened, I have no regrets (so far), and for the fist time in a VERY long time I am looking forward to the future.
Early days and I'm sure I will be up and down ALOT! but all I can say is at the moment I feel great, just getting a bit boored with soup/liquid but only another 2 weeks to go.
It might be worth you ringing the Chelsfield direct, ask to be put through to Sheila (Bariatric Nurse) and she may be able to give you more of an idea with a date.
Good luck hun
