Rachael, Tracey Lowe is the lady that deals with the funding applications once you have been seen at Walsall

Apparently Tracey also deals with the refferals

[tesmaralda]

of course you can, Shel. That goes for anyone else to I think yhis was set so that if anyones got any questions about the process at wm they can ask on here as there are quite a few of us we seem to be taking over some of the threads lol. And I think it could also become a thread for total acts of stupidness and if you feel in that sort of mood and don't know where else to post it lol

Lesley deals with the referrals. Tracey told me that when I spoke to her the other day. Also when I spoke to Lesley on Tuesday she said they all come to her to deal with.

I believe Tracey works in PALS and Lesley works in outpatients

Tracey Lowe is the LAdy that does all the pct funding things she applies for it and receives the ya or nas back and then updates the files and relivant peoples.

Hi I'm Paul, had my bypass on the 29th of August 2008, I started at 36 stone but was down to 34 when I went in for the op itself, I'm now down to 23 1/2 stone.
The staff and surgeons at Walsall are top notch, I've found the aftercare to be lacking though to be honest. Still I'm a much happier person for the weight loss.

 

[Sambucca]

your weight loss is awesome paul. Are you finding that you are still losing weight quickly after all this time. Are you managing to eat pretty much what you want (in smaller portions than before obviously)

 

[tesmaralda]

fantastic going paul, and welcome to the wm posse

 

[naughtypuppy]

I wonder if there is much difference in pre op and post op care by bypass and band?

 

[wannaloose18stone]

My weight loss has slowed to a stone a month, I'm finding eating very difficult still. I do try all sorts but alot of it comes back up.

 

[Brunetteandred]

Hi Paul,

Have you asked anyone on here why that may be? Silversurfer has lost a fair bit and seems to be quite good at the food thing.

Also, have you had much contact with WM or the team since your op?

 

[wannaloose18stone]

I've had little to no contact with WM since the op, and I'm told the eating thing is normal. It has got alot better in the last 2 or 3 weeks but I still strugle with alot of stuff.

[Deebol]

Crikey, it looks like a colourblind Mexican on acid has been all over this thread

I'm ok just fed up of waiting but my preop is about 6 weeks away so not to long.

 

[Sambucca]

while I was at the hospital tonight, they told me about a support group that is meeting next wednesday 21st at 6.30pm

Its at Harrisons Sports and Social Club, 28 Wharwell Lane, Great Wyrley WS6 6EU.

The nurse said there will be lots of people there at various stages and friends relatives are welcome.

Im not sure yet whether I can make it myself as it is parents evening at my daughters school. I am going to try to get an earlier parents evening slot so that i can go
