hi all, just had a letter back from barnsley pct to say theyve declined funding this is twice theyve declined me, has i don't meet the barnsley pct criteria of 45 and im bmi of 43 but on the last two appointments my weight has gone up.
what i want to know is if my bmi is over 45 would i get funding ? could i get my dr to write outside of my district like derbyshire or leeds ? im really fed up with this as with out surjury im stuck as i need to lose weight to have my knees done.
its going to cost the nhs more in the long run to operate on both knees then send me for gastric sujury.
i will not let this go if theres a way to appeal again i will, but how many times do or can you do this.
i don't want to get any bigger in size as im risking my health to a heart attack
please advise ! .............
