Hi Linda,
Well at your first appt you will prob see the consultant who will discuss all the types of wls and what they think will be best for you! You also see the nurse who will go through the options n the diet with u and get weighed etc!
After this they will discuss you at there MDT meeting and confirm if they accept you, but depending on funding which is agreed by you PCT for me this was Brent! I received funding based on my PCOS! Once your PCT agree then its all go go go and you will receive appts from UCLH for further tests etc! It was quite straight forward once they had the go ahead from your PCT!
If you want any further info give me a shout!
Good luck with you appt and let me know how you get on!

Thank you for yr reply missyhinz .. I have PCOS but didnt think that mattered when trying for funding with nhs as its not a co-morbidities .. My bmi is 46 & if i have been reading right the stuff on net i need bmi of 40 + & have tried to lose weight by attending a weight management programme to be able to get funding...I have been to see a dietitian... All i can do it keep my fingers crossed :0)

Hey all,
It's been ages I have not posted. Having had my gastric bypass on 31st July 2012 at starting weight of 237lbs and now weighing 188.8lbs as of today. I have lost a total of 3st 6.4lbs. I'm really happy as I know I would never have been able to do it myself. I have my 6 month review with the consultant on the 30th January. The last 3 weeks I had my first stall n then lost 1.4lbs I just think I'm not loosing enough compared to many people. I'm still following all the guidelines n exercising at the gym 3-4 times a week n almost 2l of water. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I still want to loose another 3stones but just think its very very slow. Max weight loss per week is about 1lb or 2lbs that's all. What do you all think?
Don't get me wrong I am happy with weightless but not too the extent that I guess I should be. I used to wear size 22 clothes now fit into size 16 which is fantastic cant even remember when I was last a size 16.
