this is unacceptable
i hope you've been taking the names of these doctors, because something tells me you're going to have to sue them for medical negligence. one of my best friends had very similar symptoms late last year. they claimed he had gastric flu, or some such nonsense. in fact, he has crohn's disease, which he is now, finally, being treated for. i sincerely hope this isn't what you have, but you need to keep on complaining until you get a satisfactory answer.
btw, i had a gastric bypass 18 months ago. where did you get your band done?

It is
unacceptable, however I don't really know what else I can do bar wait. Now I've got the letter confirming they'll see me again, it seems a bit churlish to continue to pester - although of course, if the appointment doesn't come through in what I consider to be due course (ie, fairly fucking sharpish) then naturally I'll give them (yet more) earache.

I had my band done via the hospital group in bromsgrove. they weren't bad actually, although they too tend to need nagging. In ten months I've lost a fifth of my original bodyweight, which isn't too shabby. A bypass is pretty drastic, how've you found it?
