Hi Dawn
Welcome, I live in Doncaster and just finished the Tier 3 Management as well.
Been to the seminar about three week ago, week after to see the Dietitian at the hospital, then this Tuesday just gone to see the Surgeon.
They had a meeting on Thursday, and will let me know what happen next.
Seminar in Doncaster: Just two Dietitians there, one person who as had the surgery talks to you about there journey, and they show photos on a big screen of people before and after.
They do your weight and height, then on the screen they show you the Sleeve and the By Pass operation, didn't show the Band as they don't really want to do this op anymore. Then they ask if you have any questions, after they have explained everything to you, there was about eight of us at the meeting, one girls pulled out but the rest of us are still going through with it.
Dietitian: The people that was on the Seminar with me, all had the same appointment on the day, same for the Surgeon.
Weighed and blood pressure, then you go in she asked why you want the surgery, what things you eat, which op you want and puts it all down on paper.
Surgeon: First you see a Dietitian, measures waist and neck and same as above, then the Surgeon come in. Make sure you know what you need to ask before you go. Ask on here before you go.
I said "I wanted the sleeve, but they make the last decision".
This is what happened to me, maybe with someone else it was different.
All the best on your journey.
Elaine
