Hello All
New here and wondering if anyone has been referred for tier 3 weight loss programme? I have a bmi of 48 but considered quite healthy as no other problems! I am 40 years old and been over weight since the age of 10! I have constantly approached the doctor year upon year for further help I have succeeded once losing a total of 8 stone and still weighed in at 14 stone but never managed to keep off! I am now back to my heaviest and just find it so hard to keep weight off! I believe I am addicted to food and really crave nice food - I dont consider myself to be a huge binge eater just make the wrong choices! My doctor last year told me I should perhaps just be happy the way I am but after having losing all that weight once and being the skinniest I have ever been since I can ever remember it has just made me want to lose weight even more and I can notice I am unable to do things now because of my size! Truly depressing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sought another doctors advice and was referred to this tier 3 programme but after an initial phone call a bit disheartened as it is basically going over all that I already know and not a long term solution! I need surgery and if I could afford myself I would be booked in tomorrow! Does anyone know if this could lead to surgery???? I am in Hampshire!:cry:
