Hello Lucy, no it’s not my first appointment on this journey. I’ve been doing tier 3 which is part of the process to be accepted for weight loss surgery for ages now. This will be my first appointment at the hospital where I will meet the surgeon, dietician etc where they will tell me wether I’m accepted for surgery or not.. from then I will have the surgery in around 6 months after (so I’ve heard from others) but I’ve been doing this process for over 2 years now so I’m so ready to get it moving. Are you starting tier 3 appointments? With dietician, counsellor etc? Xxxxx

Yes , my first appointment next month to meet surgeon and them all.
I was referred back in July/August. X

Hey guys, thought I should write a quick update. Had my MDT in Chichester on Friday (1st March) and got approved for a sleeve at the end of summer.. so nervous but so excited! How is everyone else’s journey pre op or post op? Any of you had/having the sleeve? Xx

 

[Lucy S]

So pleased for you
I’ve got my MDT March 21st!!!
Can’t wait
Really hoping to be accepted
Can I ask how much you weigh etc please ?

I had preference over the sleeve yes and they told me that because I was young sleeve would be best for me.. the bypass was a bit too daunting for my brain but that’s just me! Ooo not long then! Thankyou please reply back and let us know how it goes! I’m 22. 5ft1 and 116kg so I have to lose quite a bit.. hoping i will!!! What are yours? What op are you hoping for and what hospital are you going to? Xz

I'm pretty sure these are normal feelings. I have my fears but the fear of what will happen if I don't have it are just as terrifying x

I think nearly everyone had those fears, but the risks these days are very minimal x
