Sunderland referral- newbie Requires help
- Thread starter Nikki36
- Start date
:welcome:
The seminar is basically an info session. They take your height and weight, then the surgeon takes you through the different options available and the dietician talks you through her side of things, then a post-opper tells you about their experiences. Finally you all have a chance to ask questions - its really informative x

Thanks very much for this am so nervous and it's took me months to build up the courage to ask the gp as have asked for help over years and they just sent me to dieticians and other groups and nothing has worked hopefully this is the start to a new me. Good luck with your journey x

Hi Nicki 36. I too have just been referred to SRH but this was only last week so I do not yet have any dates for seminar or appts etc. I will be interested to hear how you get on at your first session and wish you luck with your weight loss journey. I also had to build up the courage to finally speak to my GO so I am so pleased I did and I am looking forward to and am also terrified of the road ahead. Take care x

Hi all I'm new to this!
Had my seminar last week at Sunderland, but really want to get on with trying to loose weight on my own, does anyone have any tips? I've emailed Kim but didn't get a reply about this.
I know the ext appointment is in a few months but want to try to loose some before then!
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
