Hi there,

For your area, you need to have significant medical conditions that
could be improved by weight loss such as: cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer, musculo-skeletal disease, reproductive disorders and respiratory disorders.

I hope this information is useful.

 

[shelbell]

A sleep apnoea test would be your best bet.

Will see if I can search out the list.

 

[shelbell]

I've no idea where it is sorry. It was quite a while ago now so it might not show up on searches.

Does anyone else remember it or did I imagine it?

 

[kphorrox]

im going to ask doc to refer me for sleep studies its worth a try can doctor refer me to see anyone else surgeon etc to assess me ??

 

[shelbell]

Not the surgeon no, but an endocrinologist and an obesitiy clinic/weight management service are worth doing.

 

[kphorrox]

ive been refered to a clinic but there is a 18 week wait

Hi Kerry

What is your BMI? you have put your height as 50ft 10" so your details are showing as BMI 0.6. If your PCT follows NICE guidelines when they turned you down did they give you a reason?
