30/11/18 Another appointment through for the 25/01/19 to have an Echocardiogram eek!
02/12/18 Received copy of letter L&D sent to my GP signing me off T3 & asking for a repeat of medical details they've already had! to enable progression onto T4. 25/01/19 Appointments for Echocardiogram & ECG all normal.

Weight today 23st 6lb. 31/01/19 Got letter for date to see surgeon on 15/03/19 20/02/19 Got letter canceling my surgeons appointment until 22/03/19 So annoyed, can't make that date. 23/02/19 Got letter from Consultant Anaesthetist giving me the all clear for surgery. 04/03/19 Got letter confirming new surgeon appointment on 29/03/19 29/03/19 met Mr. Jumbulingham and he gave me a date for surgery 16/04/19 :wee:

followed by an impromptu pre-op, checked bloods, MRSA swabs, ECG, BP, weight, height and a more in depth chat with the baratric nurse about LRD, post op medication, post op diet etc. Was given post op medications; 2 anti clotting injections and 2 x 2 anti nausea tablets. 02/04/19 start 2 weeks Liver Reducing Milk Diet. 16/04/19 Operation day, admission 11am, weight 21st 9lb, operation time 3.30pm, ended up with a RNY Gastric bypass, an umbilical hernia repair and an additional hiatus hernia repair, all went well, but had quite a lot of gas pain after, was back in recovery by 7pm.

so told me to have blood test done with GP. I'm so angry. Weight today 19st 3lb. 6/8/19 First Blood test & B12 jab, also hair loss has started. *UPDATE* Hair loss lasted about 2 months, wasn't severe, I took high strength biotin and used biotin & collegan shampoo. 30/10/19 Luton 6 month check up and blood test.

30/11/18 Another appointment through for the 25/01/19 to have an Echocardiogram eek!
02/12/18 Received copy of letter L&D sent to my GP signing me off T3 & asking for a repeat of medical details they've already had! to enable progression onto T4. 25/01/19 Appointments for Echocardiogram & ECG all normal.

Weight today 23st 6lb. 31/01/19 Got letter for date to see surgeon on 15/03/19 20/02/19 Got letter canceling my surgeons appointment until 22/03/19 So annoyed, can't make that date. 23/02/19 Got letter from Consultant Anaesthetist giving me the all clear for surgery. 04/03/19 Got letter confirming new surgeon appointment on 29/03/19 29/03/19 met Mr. Jumbulingham and he gave me a date for surgery 16/04/19 :wee:

followed by an impromptu pre-op, checked bloods, MRSA swabs, ECG, BP, weight, height and a more in depth chat with the baratric nurse about LRD, post op medication, post op diet etc. Was given post op medications; 2 anti clotting injections and 2 x 2 anti nausea tablets. 02/04/19 start 2 weeks Liver Reducing Milk Diet. 16/04/19 Operation day, admission 11am, weight 21st 9lb, operation time 3.30pm, ended up with a RNY Gastric bypass, an umbilical hernia repair and an additional hiatus hernia repair, all went well, but had quite a lot of gas pain after, was back in recovery by 7pm.

so told me to have blood test done with GP. I'm so angry. Weight today 19st 3lb. 6/8/19 First Blood test & B12 jab, also hair loss has started. *UPDATE* Hair loss lasted about 2 months, wasn't severe, I took high strength biotin and used biotin & collegan shampoo. 30/10/19 Luton 6 month check up and blood test.

30/11/18 Another appointment through for the 25/01/19 to have an Echocardiogram eek!
02/12/18 Received copy of letter L&D sent to my GP signing me off T3 & asking for a repeat of medical details they've already had! to enable progression onto T4. 25/01/19 Appointments for Echocardiogram & ECG all normal.

Weight today 23st 6lb. 31/01/19 Got letter for date to see surgeon on 15/03/19 20/02/19 Got letter canceling my surgeons appointment until 22/03/19 So annoyed, can't make that date. 23/02/19 Got letter from Consultant Anaesthetist giving me the all clear for surgery. 04/03/19 Got letter confirming new surgeon appointment on 29/03/19 29/03/19 met Mr. Jumbulingham and he gave me a date for surgery 16/04/19 :wee:

followed by an impromptu pre-op, checked bloods, MRSA swabs, ECG, BP, weight, height and a more in depth chat with the baratric nurse about LRD, post op medication, post op diet etc. Was given post op medications; 2 anti clotting injections and 2 x 2 anti nausea tablets. 02/04/19 start 2 weeks Liver Reducing Milk Diet. 16/04/19 Operation day, admission 11am, weight 21st 9lb, operation time 3.30pm, ended up with a RNY Gastric bypass, an umbilical hernia repair and an additional hiatus hernia repair, all went well, but had quite a lot of gas pain after, was back in recovery by 7pm.
