Hi Julie

Thank you x it is an emotional ride but mostly in a good way. I’m so glad I had the WLS my only regret now is I wish I’d done it sooner. I’m looking forward to some amazing adventures & I can now plan some holidays & events knowing I will be able to enjoy every minute including the travel.

Only one month to go for you. How exciting!

I can’t make this months support group meeting which I’m gutted about but I’m going to try very hard to get to the February one. When you feel up to it post op I would love to meet up for tea/coffee.

Take care lovely lady

Lots of love

Hi Chez

I think perhaps it might be a good idea to phone the hospital/clinic and ask them for some sort of guideline timewise? Some people wait months, some merely weeks. I was not accepted at my first attempt so never, ever give up.

What reasons do you think may go against you? Please do not answer that if you would rather not. Where and with whom are you hoping to have your surgery?

I always say that fate plays a huge part in what we do. I have missed four surgeries back to back in the past year due to my chronic lung condition. I have been bitterly disappointed each time but there always ended up being a good reason that only fate could have foreseen.

I’m not trying to be negative. What I’m trying to say is that things work out and happen a certain way for a reason – even if it isn’t apparent or welcome at the time. Please give the hospital/clinic a call and let us know what they say.

Hi Treeza!
I would love to meet you for coffee!!
I hope you are doing something lovely anyway, instead of the meeting!
You will be missed, you are such a positive person to listen too.
So glad you have some lovely events and holidays planned for this year. You really deserve them.
I will keep in touch anyway to let you know how I’m doing, and you can always talk to me.
It is always lovely to hear from you.
Hugs

It is such a good idea to surround yourself with positive people. I have. It sounds ruthless but I don’t have time for people who ‘enjoy’ misery! Genuine sadness or depression is something else entirely but people who have nothing to moan about but still like to do it make me cross! Unless it is me harping on about being cold haha!

Thank you Julie what a lovely thing to say. I can’t come because I’m working. I hope to come in Feb when you will have had your surgery. Yay! Say hi to everyone from me lots of love xxx

[Lauren]

My goodness, Julie is having her surgery NEXT MONTH! How quickly did that come round? It’s scary isn’t it?

This time last year I went to stay with one of my best friends to help her after her band surgery.A YEAR has passed. It honestly seems unreal yet it is her opiversary tomorrow. I also can hardly believe that I am now in my 6th year post gastric bypass surgery!

How are things with you Chez? Have you given them a call yet?

Hi I had my full day assessment in june and was accepted for a gastric bypass,totally over the moon with that,i was also told the the 3 tier we were on is no longer as things have changed and brought forward,and then told surgery would be sometime in Autumn which is not far off and now I have been told today be a friend also in my group that they have heard it will now be dec/jan or jan/feb 2015,i am totally gutted as have been seeing them at Chichester since October 2013…is there any thing I can do to push them along,its really cheesed me off today as I have been waiting a long time already.
Feeling really hopeless 🙁

Hi Chez,

I feel for you, I really do. Unfortunately I’ve not got any tips or tricks to solve your problem. My experience with NHS was just a flat refusal for funding so I gave up (had I been involved with this forum at the time, I may have persevered, but I didn’t know then what I know now). Anyway I was then fortunate enough to get my bypass through my health insurer’s co-pay scheme so I could just about afford it.

What I would say is don’t feel despondent about the delay, I believe in fate and when you look back you may identify a good reason for this. Believe me, wls is worth waiting for. I feel reborn. A positive thought is that you have been given extra time to prepare for what is major surgery, maybe you’ve been given this time to get yourself as strong, fit and well as possible, thus making your recovery easier.

Don’t lose heart, my love. All will be well.

Thank you Chris for your kind words I was really feeling low this am,to be honest its what I heard through the grapevine so I have to stay positive ect and hope its still happening in the Autumn as how I was led to believe. I am so ready for this and I can not wait to feel slimmer and more active than I have done for absolutely years.

Oh my darling I do know how disappointed you must feel , but it’s only through the grape vine so you don’t know if that’s the truth . But hold on you been accepted that means you got the funding . That’s the biggest hurdle . And if it is in February ( which I pray it isn’t ) don’t give up on your self . It seems a long time but compare to the rest of your life it’s just a blink of an eye . During this research prepare your self for life afterwards . Get your self physically fit start exercising , you can even do chair arobics . Walk . These will help in your recovery and also help you get maximum weight Loss in the first 6 month . It seem a long time but in reality it very close . .
