The best Christmas Present ever!!! - WLSurgery.com

Fuffs · 24th December, 2011

Yes, you guessed it....I have my funding!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!

The letter said they received confirmation onthe 21st December that my PCT have agreed funding

I will now be placed on Mr Nijjars waiting list and dated shortly!!!

I almost feel numb, but terribly relieved and excited at the same time.

I just knew 2012 was going to be AWESOME!!

Thank you for all the support on here. It means a lot to me. I couldn't have got through it without my friends on this forum.

My message to anyone being messed around is dig your heels in and don't give up!

If you are not familiar with my story, its in one of the first posts of my diary (link in my signature)

WOOHOO! lol

Fuffs · 24th December, 2011

Thank you so much. I just feel for all the people who my hospital told them they are not eligible and they were wrong. I am so happy all my WLS friends and my mom spurred my on to not give up. There were times the hospital made me feel it is pointless.

So once again people DON'T GIVE UP! lol

(off my soapbox now lol)
