I saw him at cov about a month ago. He is really nice. I was worried before going wondering if he was going to drag something up from my childhood and make me cry. Or if I was just a basket case. Apparently he is very good at judging character and can tell what a person needs. He didn't...

When I emailed the pct to see if bariatric funding had been applied for, for me I had a really nice reply from them the next day, unfortunately no funding had been applied for but I was happy they had looked for and had replied. Didn't know we weren't supposed to email them!

At my first weight management meeting, I was weighed and measured and bmi calculated. It was a group meeting, and to be honest a bit boring, probably everything you know already. What you should be eating what to avoid all the stuff you know if you are anything like me. Sometimes I felt like I...

Hi I haven't been on for while, I became bit disheartened by what feels like lies and false hope from Coventry. Although when I look at my timeline it's not that bad compared to others here, it's just that they seem to build you up and then knock you down. If it's any help I will outline my...

Sorry Mazza I didn't get back to you sooner (I lost the thread). I have been told by surgeon I had to do 6 months weight management but 12 months has been mentioned also. i have done 6 months so far. I saw the consultant on the 17th Jan and he gave me an appointment to see him in July but said...

Hi and welcome. My BMI was taken from my first consultant appointment, i was 49 when referred by GP, I had to eat a bit more to get to 50 before my appt. as my hospital wont look at you under 50.

All the above plus DUkan diet (bit like Atkins but without the fat). I had xenical from the Internet about 4 years before it was licensed here. Low GI had best results for me, I lost about 4 stones with that, but once away from home I go off track and think " oohh one little bit or a day off...

I voted you look stunning hope i can look this good one day!

My thoughts and prayers are with, your friends family and friends. God bless x

Good luck it will be here soon!

They asked me to take my husband as he was the only one who could describe my snoring and how often I stopped breathing. He couldn't come on the day so they just gave me a form to fill in and take back withe equipment the next day. The appointment was quite quick. They explained the equipment...

That's what I thought.

Caren I had my overnight test took the equipment back the next day, then had a letter in about week to go back the following week, so about 2 weeks.

Any news in the post?

Don't think i would have slept much in hospital knowing they were monitoring me. x

I was just wondering if anyone in the Uk had had their surgery covered by private medical insurance. We have cover through my husbands work, but I was always under the impression it wasn't covered until today. I have just been to an appointment with my back consultant and he asked why I...

Glad you're feeling ok and all went well. Speedy recovery. x

I know with the home the test you have to get the equipment back to the hospital early the next day, they couldn't stress this enough to me. Maybe this is the reason for the overnight stay.
