I thought Mdt ( multi disaprinanary team meeting) was when all the team who have been dealing with you from your hospital ie pysch / dietician/ doctors all get together and dicuss each case they have. We as patients dont attend these .this is where things like what steps to take / fund or not /extra measures are taken then in time you should hear from your point of contact
hope that helps

Hi Harley
Yes I got my letter for the 19th September, and it read the same as yours, and I would be there all day meeting the team.
I have already seen the Surgeon once, so this time will definitely be getting my questions right. Waiting for answers
, last time was a disaster.

1 I didn't know what operation I wanted
2 I hadn't read up properly on the operation
3 could not answer is questions
4 He asked if I had put weight on, just to get the operation
I am not very good in these situations anyway, they make me nervous and that makes me worse.
But this time I will be more clued up, and I want the sleeve.
All the best on your journey.

I'm currently trying to figure out what would be best for me: sleeve or bypass. I am interested in this thread and will be following along..

The only ones I can think of are:
1. What is the surgeons mortality rate?
2. The dietician / Surgeons opinion on best results op and recovery times.
3. Worst possible outcome if the op goes wrong?
4. Would you be able to sign a consent form stating that if for any reason they couldn't give u a bypass (I mean once your lights out in OT) that they give you a sleeve instead? (I'm definitely asking that one!)
5. How long is the pre op milk diet
That's all I can think of at the moment!
Even if you think you know the answers to some questions ask anyway - as the answers might be different from what you thought! Also - I'll be doing the Spanish Inquisition on you when you are done! Lol! If you don't mind of course!

HI
Just wondering do people generally go to see the surgeon/consultant knowing which operation they want or does the surgeon/consultant recommend two and let you decide? Does anyone have a link to the pros and cons of each surgery or what each is best suited to?
Many thanks x

I'm leaning more towards a bypass but I am still going to ask which the surgeon thinks is best. In all honesty I don't actually mind which one I get!
You can google pros and cons I can't seem to find one place with all the info.

Hi Birdie
When I saw the Surgeon I was only offered a Bypass / Sleeve, but he did say "while I was under if they could not do bypass, it would be Sleeve or viceversa."
Also said it would be on my consent form, so will let you know after the 19th September.
Unless some one comes along and lets us know, which would be good.
I have wrote your questions down, I will be asking these.

Hey Willow! That's Good to know that they will do the sleeve / bypass if they can! I would hate to wake up and find out that nothing was done!
Is your surgery the 19th?? You must be so chuffed! Can't wait to get my date!

Oh yes sorry willow, I remember you and Harley are on the same date! Lucky fish! I will definitely catch up with you afterwards to find out how it went! I'm on day 2 of my diary so will hopefully be able to send it off on Friday morning (of course it has to be a bank holiday this weekend!)
