Yeh I completely get that. I am too wondering how many people I actually want to know about my situation. But then I think if I suddenly lose 10 stone they might ask how and I don’t want to lie. It’s difficult isn’t it. Initially when I went to the doctors years ago they just didn’t want to...

I’m 30. I’ve been to the doctors for the last 10 years asking for this so I know exactly how you feel. I’ve just found a Chichester support group on Facebook. Its been very useful.

ThAts good to know! Thank you. I’ve already done tier 3 locally before being referred to Chichester for surgery. Is this the same as you? Or are you doing the tier 3 at the hospital? It’s so confusing! I’ve not heard anything since they sent off my referral over a month ago.
