Wow @countrywench thats fantastic!... Well done .... How long was the whole thing from first appointment to operation?...... Iv read alot of negativity about the band slipping and people having it reversed etc. XI was banded at spire Southampton just over 10 weeks ago and am just doing brilliantly ! Lost just over 3.5 stone now or 52lb
Hi jo,when did you get referred?... What consultant are you under xHi Emsie. I'm around the same place as you from a referral point of view I think. Having a bypass a walsall too
Hi Emsie, It’s been quite a long process so far. From May 15 had to prove 6 months’ worth of official slimming club e.g weightwatchers, then in November referred for Tier 3 which completed in April.
I was referred for surgery by my GP mid-April, and had my first MDT meeting at Walsall on 22nd June. I’m under Dr Khan. They did say it will be around 6 months in total which will be around December I hope.
What stage are you at so far?
