After three phone calls and much shoulder shrugging on the hospital's part - we've now gotten to the bottom of what happened.
They rescheduled my gastroenterology appointment for the following week and the consultant (Doctor) told the office to cancel my general surgery appointment as it wasn't needed. I believe the consultant was confused as the whole reason I'm seeing him is for the general surgery appointment with Mr Mannur and friends.
So - as it was their screw up, they've reinstated my appointment with Mr Mannur as originally scheduled. I was very worried that they would have to put me at the back of the queue. That would've made me a bit cranky.
Gastro appt - 1 November
Mannur follow up - 22 November
and the appointment with the nutrionist is still MIA. Must remember to call and hassle for that one.
I wonder if all this paperwork/red tape cutting burns calories?

Finally!
The letter inviting me to call and book my appointment with the gastroenterologist finally came in the post while we were on holiday last week. I was mucho relieved as it means that I can keep my surgeon appointment for the end of November.
I'm due to see the gastro doctor on Wednesday the 22nd of October - so, in two week's time. I have NO idea why I'm seeing him, what he's going to tell me or anything like that. All I know is that I have to meet with him as he will report back to the surgeon on me and based on findings will or will not recommend surgery.
I'm ready for this surgery. Big time. I'm hoping to have this appointment and then call and see if I can get them to move my follow up appt with Mr Mannur and friends up a week or two. Who knows.
I knew this was going to be a long process. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any slimmer as I find myself thinking, 'oh, go ahead and have that [insert food name here], after surgery you may never be able to have it again, not ever, not never, no way, no how.'
See - my relationship with food is wonky.
