I'm due to have my op the week after and I've received a letter telling me to go in at 1.30pm too. I think this maybe so that we can see the dietician on Friday afternoon as they don't work weekends. That way if you're up to it you may get out on Sunday.
Yes you can use your mobile, or at least I know ladies who have. Visiting times are 2.00pm until 5.00pm and 6.00pm until 8.00pm.

Hi guys
i had my surgery at SRH 2 weeks ago today, i went in on the monday at 3pm... i was settled into the ward, where they did all my admission papers, the consultant came around to see me on the monday, same with the anesthestatist(no it is spelled correctly) , then the SHO came around and took some bloods... then i was left to be until the next morning when the nurses/HCA's came and gave me a gown to change into along with the lovely stockings... the Dietician didnt come and see me until the day after my surgery..i went in on Monday, surgery was on Tuesday lunchtime, and i was on a drip after that for 24 hours... i was allowed clear fluids starting from late tuesday and i had to drink at least 1 litre of clear fluids on Wednesday and by Wed night i was allowed a cup of tea... Thursday i had some ready brek for breakfast..also they need to do another blood test the following day after surgery to check and see if everything is ok...visiting hours were 2-4pm and 6-8pm...hope this helps xx

Trina, I had my sleeve done last saturday at Sunderland and the staff were amazing. There is nothing to worry about. You'll get there for 1:30pm, have a little lunch before you go as it's fruit, yoghurt and water (a cuppa if you ask nicely lol) for tea. You'll be nil by mouth from midnight so drink plenty on saturday afternoon. You'll have bloods done, see the dietician, surgeon and the man who knocks you out (no good at spelling long words lol) then it's all go from there..! You should be discharged by 12pm on tuesday (dont quote me on that lol).
Trina, don't worry at all as you're in safe hands. I met a girl in my room and we had such a lot in common it was like the most extreme girlie spa break ever hehe. Relax and enjoy it xxxx

Yes, I got the pre op diet sheet within a few days of the secretary calling me. I would give them a call hun as you need to do it for 10 days and that would mean starting it today!!! Also, I'm sure pre-op should be done 7 - 10 days beforehand so please call them to check everything out

Phil, it's single sex wards so you'll just have to make do with the guy's lol. There were 3 female and 1 male bay's on the ward when I was in. There was a wiff of Lynx wafting down the coridoor constantly lol, far more vain than us ladies with greasy hair and no slap on. There are no rules regarding wandering in search for friends though
.I wish you all luck and health and I can't wait to see you all on here in a few weeks feeling the same way as I do. My mam is having a bypass on the 15th August and feel really confident about her care because the staff in there are Amazing. Jessie a Phillipino nurse was a true diamond and would go out of his way to make sure you were happy and comfy..!
Oooooh i'm getting excited for you all now
