So, by the end of this week I will have had my appointments with the psychologist and dietician, whose reports will be discussed with me along with my blood test results at my second surgeons appointment next thursday. If all goes well (as in the psycholgist doesnt say I'm a nut job) then we'll look at scheduling a surgery date.
After the second consult with the surgeon (and before the surgery) I need to do 3 weeks on a liquid VLCD (very low calorie diet) that is supposed to shrink the (probably fatty) liver pre-surgery (important as they need to lift the liver to get to the stomach) so the smaller/less fatty it is the safer the surgery is.
So the first possible date for my surgery is 14 November the next available date is 21 November, for social (gigs to go to, not dinner parties:-) and work reasons the 21st suits me better. but i'll see what happens!

PS, I swear sometimes, and rant, plus i rarely spell the word psychology properly, there bound to be other typos as well, I am not a writer and won't be going to huge effort to correct these as i don't want to edit myself.
