thanks everyone, ive now started my diet i wanna lose as much as i can so im more healthy for my op and also i just wanna try and change my habits now so when i do have my op it aint a massive shock to the system, im not goin on a crash diet like normally though im gonna make sensible choices and jst be more healthy roll on 8th november wanna lose at least half a stone for then.
bubbly ang did dr kumar do ur op? what happened the first time u meet him so i know what to expect? im s happy i carnt believe it!! how long was ur op after u went t see him cus ive benn told 2-3 months but that seems so soon to me?? but thats what he said so we will see xxx
 
hi laura im also under mr kumar at the heartlands have u had ur funding approved yet? ive been on the waiting list since february with the heartlands i have my funding it was approved with another surgeon who was going to do the op in shropshire which is where i live, but he lost the contract for the ops so had to start again at the heartlands...
im on the waiting list and saw mr kumar in april who told me i would be operated on by the end of the year... still havent had a date yet i ring every week.... dont want to ruin any hopes u have but just be warey that it may not happen in such a short time.... hope this makes sence!! do u have to go to the slim classes?? i have ... didnt really help me to be honest as i already no what to do!!
anyway any time u fancy a chat im here!! xx all the best
 
awww thanks sue for ur lovely message so nice to spk 2 someone under the same surgeon.
well my journeys been goin on for abot 2 yrs on and off i lost weight by myself 6 stone and couldnt shift any more so i went to gp for help who refered me to the weight management at heartlands (slimming classes) they talked about surgery there but i wasnt intrested to be honest as i was doin well and hadnt ever researched it b4 so said ild carry on the way i was i attended the slim classes for about 3 months then due to personal circumstances i didnt go bk which was a bit naughty well ive had a baby since and put all my weight bk on and more so decided to go to my gp who this time refered me straight for surgery which the surgeons didnt accept as i hadnt seen a weight specialist so got my appointment which i attended 22nd where i seen a dr and he said that as they have on record my weight goin u and down and at the momnet up that i didnt have to do the slimming classes he was refering me straight to surgeon got my appointment 8th november so not long away!! i said i understand theres a big wait at the moment and honestly can u can how long it will look like im waiting and he said cus iv done the weight management slimming classes b4 and most ppl have to attend them for at least 6 months that i shouldnt have much of a wait he said 2-3 months max!!! although im keeping an open mind to that as i wont believe it till i get a date, i dont have funding but he sent of for that at the time too he said that takes 4 wks and if i dont hear after 2 weeks of seeing dr kumar i should ring to find out, im expecting a wait and not getting my hopes up too much but iv started eating more healthy not gonna say a diet as its a change in lifestyle really so im doin that now and gonna get weighed again when i see the surgeon so hopefully iv lost and ill keep losing untill sugery so that should take my mind of the wait for a while (hopefully)
hope u dont have to wait much longer hun and u get ur surgery sorted very soon good luck and keep in touch and let me know how it all goes xxx
