end of tier 3!!! yaaaaaaaay

[jen1805]

Hi, I've been with weigh ahead Southampton doing tier 3.

Finally made it through a long tough 6 months.

Having jumped through all the hoops with the odd back flip thrown in, I was told today i am being recommended for surgery and she will be writing my referral letter tomorrow, and she believes I am 99% certain to be funded (whoop whoop) now the waiting game gets really tough, I have opted to carry on with monthly weigh ins, just so I don't fall off the wagon as such, but I am so impatient lol, does anyone have any idea how long Dorset CCG take to decide or the general waiting time to see a surgeon???

thanks for reading xxx

I finished tier 3 end of January that's when my dietitian referred me and I received a letter within a few weeks confirming I'd been accepted for surgery I then went to a seminar 9th March, seen surgeon 30th march, pre op 8th June and was banded 7th July. I was under NHS in Birmingham so don't know if timescale is different to Southampton. Good luck with it all x

Hello, I'm just wondering and being nosey how come you got to do 12 months I've been told I have to do 12 sorry if it's too nosey x

Hi Foxy, your not nosey lol, from what I've read on here it varies from person to person and place to place, but 6 months is the minimum I believe.

I did 6 months instead of 12 months because I had a high BMI and my level 3 dietitian fast tracked me x
