First surgeon consultation time scale



Recommended Posts

Hi
Wondering if anyone can tell me what the time scale was, from first surgeon consultation until surgery date in the UK on NHS?


Hello Ellie

My name is Leanne I am 45 from the U.k also I'm from Essex and having my op on the NHS in St Marys hospital London my date is to be confirmed my whole time span will be 1 and a half years in all but that was because I had to have further tests for other things they found alone the way i.e. sleep apnea and had tests because they thought I had cancer.Any questions you have get back to me.Are your family friends being supportive of you?

Hello Ellie,

Yes family are kinda of supportive but sister has always made fun of me throughout my life I am always the brunt of her jokes about me being big in front of the rest of my family.Friends are supportive.

Hi Leanne , I'm in Nottinghamshire and had my first consultation with my surgeon at the end of April. Yesterday I got my date for my pre op appointment which is in 9 days 👏🏻.

I just can't believe I've been given this opportunity and am so excited. It's good to be able to share experiences with others in the Uk .

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
