You sit in a group about 10 people and see dietician, then nurse, then psychologist, very informative meeting
Oh ok do they approve you wonder for me the surgeon and the anthietist was happy to go ahead its like closing the gate after the horses has bolted strange this is going to bex

I hav3 to admit I did find it quite educational, yes there was a lot that I knew just from doing research but there were little snippets of info that was useful. It’s an hour with each, the bariatric (I loathe that word!) nurse, the dietician and the psychologist, they all encouraged you to ask questions and never made us feel that any question was silly. I hope your experience is as good. They also encourage you to take your partner or a friend because they also be involved in your journey xxxx

I was told that by being there means you’ve been accepted for surgery. Yes thank you Maria61 I forgot to mention that you are with about 10 other patients at the MDT which I was dreading but it was a good session xx

Sandra, i'm so sorry :( I know from personal experience how awful it is to get your dates messed with, it's devastating and really hard to cope with mentally. You do actually lose hope that things are ever going to happen for you but i can tell you they definitely will!! You'll get there. Just keep moving forward, take one day at a time. I know it still seems forever away but it will come round sooner than you feel it will, i promise Xx
