Hello I'm pretty new here and have never posted before. But I have read through many threads and have found some great advice.
I have been fighting for WLS on the NHS for 5 years and have been refused 3 times by the former South East PCT as I had no underlying health issues yet. I have re applied after my GP informed me that there had been a change in the way funding was issued and it is now being done nationally.
I phoned the doctors today after re applying last week. They have said the funding has been pre approved but the CCG want to get more personal feedback from my GP rather than solely my medical history. I had previously thought it was very black and white and you were either eligible or not. My GP advised me he is phoning them and in the next couple of days and I should get a decision.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? If so does this look like I may finally get some help?
