So, I'm back!! I was going through the assessment process at Morriston Hospital in Swansea back in 2015, but due to family problems, it was decided at the MDT I wasn't emotionally strong enough, and referred to a Tier 3 programme. Needless to say, I was devastated. I did go to a few...

Thanks hun. Believe me, I'll not be rolling over anytime soon xx

I've been going through the assessment process at my local hospital for the past 18 months. At my first appointment I asked for their advice as I have bipolar disorder, albeit type 2,which is the milder version, and I was concerned about it coming between my chances of having the surgery. I was...

Hi, I've not been on here for a while as I've had a lot going on at home. I'm currently going through the assessment process for my surgery now and as someone who suffers with both bipolar disorder and depression I will admit to being worried about these affecting my chances of having the...
