I am now over the moon as the CCG approved my funding!! I have been referred to see Mr Byrom at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, and am waiting for a date to see him. I have a few questions, if anyone could help it would be great
I only found out i got funding because i called the CCG, and the same with being referred to the surgeon, i had to call the GP as i hadn't heard from anyone. I never received any letters nor phone calls. Is this normal? I am really worried about this...
The only letter i received so far was the weight management one saying they recommended me for surgery. I had to ask the GP for a copy of the letter they send to the surgeon in order to have something in writing that shows i was approved.
Now, since there has been a lot of back and forth between the GP and hospital and no one knowing what is happening exactly, i'm gonna have to do some more chasing for an appointment with the surgeon. Does anyone know if it's his secretary that deals with it, or another department etc? Mr Byrom's secretary did say that between the surgeon's appointment and the surgery there is a 18 week maximum waiting time, but nothing about when i'd see the surgeon.
It would be great if anyone could shed some light on what happens next so that i know what to expect and when to chase after it or not.
Thanks everyone for all the help so far!
