    Hi Lesley, no worries about more questions, i know what it is like.....have you been to the semiar yet? how did you find it? I was lucky enough to be seen within about six weeks of the seminar but i was also at his first back in the summer so how the land lies now for time frames i do not know. so far i have had one meeting in which he discusses your eating habits and lifestyle this consult involves discussions around relationships with people as well as food (YOU MUST BE HONEST!!! NO MATTER HOW EMBARRASING!!!) as for tests i had a sleep study done due to my responses on a sleep questionaire (you get this for seminar) and he has done a few blood tests but thats it so far. if i get a surgery date when i go back he will perform a camera test to check my stomach out too. he told me on my first consult that should i be a surgical candidate that the bypass would work for me and the band wouldnt it all boils down to the type of eater you are. if both would work i think he would tell you what he would deam most appropriate but dont hesitate to tell him what you would prefer. after he saw me he told me the weight he believed i should be able to loose in 3mth ( i am not sure if this varies but it stands at around 1stone i believe) and then he sends you away for 3months. it has been during this time i have had my sleep study. i am let to believe he will discuss my case with the rest of the team to decide if they feel i am a suitable candiadate for surgery and if they agree and i go back having lost my weight then i should get my surgery date on my next visit. think i have covered all your questions but if you drop you want to drop your email addy on here i will email you...can swap phone numbers if you a like and meet in town for coffee if you up to it xxxx

Sean is fantastic he dont beat about the bush he tells u the bad aswell as the good....he makes it clear this is no easy option. after the seminar when u see him if u decide to go ahead he is lovely. he will expect the truth from you and will know if u are telling him the truth or not, he is sooo easy to talk to very understanding, non judgemental and he can be really funny. a genuinly nice guy whom cares about his patients.... xx
