they cancelled it. i posted about it in other places and have moaned freely!
some problems were flagged up at a preop assessment, which meant that the op was cancelled. i am waiting for a referral to sleep clinic re possible sleep apnoea.
i had an appt with the consultant last week. it was the first time i'd actually met the Great Man himself!! (i dont think he liked me!)
mr ackroyd says that the banding is totally innapropriate for me and he says hes going to do a different op (if he can operate at all, we'll wait till after the sleep clinic and stuff). he called it a gastros something, but i couldnt remember the name, so i googled weight loss surgery remove stomach (which is what he said hes going to do to me!!) and its called "Biliopancreatic Diversion" on the internet!!
i think!
anyway, its where they remove most of your stomach - but its not a bypass, they dont staple or relocate your bowel!!!
ive never heard of it before, i only knew about the band and the bypass, but mr ackroyd says its the best option for me.
he also said im the 4th largest person hes ever had.
oh, and he wants me to loose 5 stone by the end of march, when he is due to see me again and (HOPEFULLY) i will have been seen by the sleep clinic and he will be able to put me back on the list!!!
in the meantime, im going to make a pest of myself on the weightloss threads
thanks to Janitor who gave me a slimming world book!! im going to try that!
