Got a date
Hospital called yesterday. 6 October has been booked for my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Only four weeks away!
Just waiting for the letter detailing what I need to do before and immediately after, how long I’ll be in for. Stuff like that.
Sleeve gastrectomy
Back at hospital to see the surgeon for my vsg. Just been weighed and I’ve lost 3kg in two weeks. Fabbo.
Doctor
He couldn’t find me! I sat where I was told and the doctor could find me. Admittedly, I was sat behind a thick door and round the corner from the consulting room, but even so, he should have been told where I was.
He asked a few questions about excercise and looked at my stretch marks.
The results from the sleep apnea test wasn’t to be found and the blood tests from May were equivicable so I had to have another one.
The wait was pretty short. Some bloke said he needed a blood test but they couldn’t do one cos he put hand cream on and the needles wouldn’t be able to go through! I want some if that cream.
Nothing was said about a date for the op and I did ask.
Before I left, I was given an appointment with the surgeon in two weeks. More waiting. Hope the underground is not on strike that day.
Even allowing for parking and driving to the station it’s half the price of national rail. About time Oyster cards could be used from harlow.
Off to homerton again
For some tests. Last time I was here, I got the impression that these tests are pre-op tests. Which could mean my vsg (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) op is coming soon. However, I don’t want to get my hopes up.
At the meeting with the bariaric team, we were told we could get called in on a weeks notice. I can deal with that. Should be enough time to arrange someone to feed the cats.
More info later today, I hope.
