Hi Kim, I'm in sheffield but I was referred last august. I went to my seminar on November and had an appointment with Mr Ackroyd in December, but I actually saw his secretary. She's lovely. She will ask you about your life style, any diets you've tried, what you think is the reason you're over weight, things like that. Be totally honest with her, it's the best way to go!! She will advised you what operation would be good for you but you have the choice yourself. Then it will be a case of waiting for pre op etc.
I was told at the seminar that I met the criteria, then I asked mr ackroyds secretary when I saw her, to double check I definitely had funding. Was told yes, and I was extremely lucky to have it as they had just changed the criteria a few days after I got funding. I had my pre op on the 16th as as I'm not to high risk I am allowed my operation at thornbury hospital, I received my date the Saturday just gone, I go I on the 3rd of February, the Monday coming!

I hope that helped!

Welcome and good luck! X
