It was never going to happen.
Thats how i feel at the moment not sure why. I have 3 more sessions at the wieghht management course and se has alreday told me that I could have the band fitted by September all being well !!! Thats probably why ...... all being well !!!!
I am just hoping that all this upset and hard work will be worth it and that they wont turn aroundn and say oh no your not suitable.

I felt that way, I had an 18-month journey from first asking GP (she put me off for months before she agreed) to the actual surgery. All along the way I kept thinking they would say no, no funding for you. I was even hesitant to have my hubby ask for time off until I got my letter with my surgery date even though I got a phone call with the date a week prior!

I think that years of being overweight & failing on diets have made us feel we are not worthy of help, that somehow we will eventually be told that we haven't tried hard enough or don't deserve a surgical solution. That just isn't true, we all have tried our best and do deserve the best solution medicine can offer us. Don't worry just follow the system and hope for the best outcome, you deserve it and if you have to fight for it you will have the strength because you know you have tried your hardest!!!

Best of luck,
Nic

Thanks you make sense thats exactly how I feel. I jsut dont want to get to the surgeon bit where I have blood tests and sleep apnea test and phschological tests to be to no go and try harder.

I just wish that I would have looked into this years ago. I have been on Xenical for over 4 years with a break whilst pregnant with my son. I have lost weight before on Slimming world, weight watchers, diet pills from a back street doctor and also when first on xenical i lost about 2 stone, this time though I am finding it really hard and also go to the gym 3-5 times a week, which cost me £30 a month that really cant afford but I think its the only thing helping me maintain and lose a tiny bit very slowly.
I have PCOS which I blame fro my weight but dont actually know how much it does effect my weigh. I do try hard to watch what I eat, my huby is 10 stone and eats the same as me infcat he eats chocolate and sweets too.
I just cant wait for the wait to be over to be told yes here is your date and then I will be happy.
Just want to be thinner lol
