Rep Power: 19 Funding: NHS Surgery Type: Gastric Sleeve Surgery Date: 3rd Febuary 2012 Gender: Female | I never received or even heard of funding being mentioned for me. I think like everyone has said each pct works differently. Can u speak to someone who has had surgery at ur pct and see if they received anything regarding funding? I think it's all decided behind the scenes at my pct xx tracyt84 likes this. |

Rep Power: 80 Consultant: Marcus Reddy Funding: NHS Surgery Type: Gastric Bypass Surgery Date: 22/11/11 Height: 5' 3" Gender: Female Start Weight: 251lb Current Weight: 167lb Goal Weight: 126lb Goal Date: Whenever BMI Information: Start BMI: 44.5 Current BMI: 29.6 Goal BMI: 22.3 Statistics: Total Weight Loss: 84lb Weight to Lose: 41lb % Lost: 33.47% %EWL: 76.1% | Are you at St. Georges. I never got any confirmation that I'd got funding either. I asked on my first forum app. and was told if I was there it was because I had funding. It took me a few months of doubt before I finally let myself believe the news. If you've got a date I would say you def have funding. Stop worrying and enjoy the ride. Kate x |
