yesterday i signed the consent forms for bypass surgery and am now on the waiting list. the surgeon has no idea how long the wait is currently. i was told at the MDT appointment that im likely to be one of the easier ones to do (i have no co-morbidities and ive already lost a significant amount of weight putting me on the lower end of the BMI scale), which could possible make my surgery wait a little quicker as i wont need so many specialists present at my surgery.

my question is to anyone who has had bariatric surgery at lewisham, how long did you wait once you were actually on the list?
