They wont They already tried referring me to the Wight managment unit, who rejected me becuase my BMI is under 60. Up here in Aberdeen they only take 60+ unless you have type 2 diabetes which I dont.

I'm working on my MP at the minute and I've been told that the Scottish government is currently reviewing guidelines although how long that takes I dont know I'm also considering requesting them to refer me to Leicester where my mum lives under the "Right to Choose" scheme but that could take a while and since I dont drive will also work out really expensive, Trains are about £100-£200 each way if I have to meet hospital appointments in Leicester an have no flexibility on the date... that in itself could prov more than I can afford.
I'm trying to be positive, today it isn't working. Feels like it will be years away at the very minimum and then I will have more years of jumping through heaps and weight loss programs and tests and drugs and this that and the next thing. I have always really wanted to be able to donate my eggs. I would love to be able to help a couple who cant have kids. But the ages limit is 32 and they wont accept me becuase I'm too fat. Im 26 now and I kind of suspect if I ever get down to the right weight it will be long after I have passed the age restrictions.

Ok end of depressing post. Sorry, just a rubbish day

My bypass came to 9950 in total and that includes lifetime aftercare. The hospital group was doing a special offer, giving the lifetime aftercare and a discount on the cost. I paid the 500 deposit in November which secured me that offer as their prices were changing come December (and reverting back to 2 years aftercare I think). Paid the remaining balance two weeks ago.

They also gave me 6 months of unlimited surgical aftercare although I don't know if that's standard or not.

I actually didn't know about the special offer when I booked the consultation. I merely chose The Hospital Group because Tina Malone got her band with them and I like her, shes a fab actress.

I paid £8500 with WLS Group and got 3 years aftercare,

check out obesity surgeons group web page. Great prices and your package for after care is fantastic. All at one hospital which specialize in Bariatric surgery. Its getting really popular. Good luck x

My private Gastric bypass cost £8.500 with WLS group. I didn't have any funds either. I figured my credit card company needed the money less than I did so used my flexible friend to fund the operation.

People tut tutted about going into debt but I reckon its better to be alive and in debt than dead of a heart attack/stroke/weight related cancer with no debt! Ive lost 2.5 stone in just over 4 weeks, I found out yesterday my diabetic bloods have returned to normal levels after thinking the op hadnt worked for them ( shocked the Dr who said she wouldnt have belived the improvement if she hadnt have done the bloods herself and the diabetic nurse was incredulous!) I look better, feel better, Its going to cost me a fortune in new clothes but thats a small price to pay for not only undoubtedly extending my life, but improving my quality of life.

Keep trying and don't give up. £8.5k isn't a fortune to a bank or CC comp. Its less than a car loan!
Very best of luck.
