I I'm at the beginning of my weight loss journey and would love to find people in my area but every thread I read there doesn't seem to be any one going to Darlington hospital ...

I tried to get Darlington Karen but they werent taking new referals unless you had been on a tier 3 programme. I haven't as they have all been stopped in my area. So I ended up being referred to sunderland x

Wow wish I had asked for Sunderland now.. I live near barnard castle so assumed Darlington was beat... But I've got 6 months going to tier 3 meeting ... 6 months to keep Wright of they said I needed to lose then I get referred to tier 4 .. What a difference

No I dont mind saying mine was 52. I think thats probably why its a quicker process at sunderland and I am also diabetic.
You can only ask your gp to find out what the procedure for sunderland is for your bmi. It may be different it may not you can only ask

I must admit I'm enjoying tier 3 even though I want the op now... But I'm starting to wonder why no one is having op in Darlington
