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 .

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
