Sunderland Royal Hospital

How you coping with the puree Bev x
Bev's my mam:family2:, she's coping pretty well on the puree as she made herself and me blended wonder grub. Chicken or beef and all veg with gravy.
However I managed petit filous fine (sleeve) and when mam (bypass) had one she had the dumping problem:cry:. Who would have thought there would be so much sugar in a baby yoghurt!?!? I've just rang my mam and asked her to come back on here as it's brill for getting and giving advice. xx
 
Hi, I was referred mid 2010 and have been on the Sleeve waiting list since May 2011.... I am expecting surgery anytime from mid Oct- Nov 2011. Last Consultant I met with was Mr Mahawar, but I understand that the lists are shared out so either Mr Mahawar/ Small/ Schroeder/ Balupuri could end up doing the op - they are all fab ;o) x x
 
Having my Bypass this Sunday xxx :D

Hi everyone,
I've just found this site after searching for Sunderland Hospital. I've got my first appointment with the nurse this week, I've had my group seminar so not sure what to expect next week, hopefully not just a weigh in as its an 80 mile round trip for me to get to the hospital!
I'm getting nervous already and nothing has been discussed yet, still toying with which option to go for too :wave_cry:
 
I am also at SRH. I had the seminar in Dec 2010, and am having my endoscopy on Thursday. Hopefully I will get on the waiting list for surgery after that.
 
Hi I had a long wait and had to have 2 endoscopies i was gutted when they said i had to have a second 1 i also had to awit for sleep apnoea tests which were positive so i had to use a c pap machine. I had my op August 2011 and just before Christmas i ahd lost enough wait to make adifference that i didn't need my sleep machine any more and i don't snore now. I was also informed before my op that skin corrective surgery would not be available wheni get to the 2 year mark on NHS that is but i am exercising just a i always have and the loose flesh isn't too bad my arms are worst bingo wings. Best thing ever having the op never regretted it yet and was well pretty much straight away after op every 1 who saw me couldnt beleive how well i was, I saw all docs throughout my appointments but Mr. Mahawar did my op hospital were brill and i'm not brave. good luck the call will come x

I am also at SRH. I had the seminar in Dec 2010, and am having my endoscopy on Thursday. Hopefully I will get on the waiting list for surgery after that.
