Funding when you've got pre-cancer changes that would be helped by losing weight

[shell-]

My GP received the gynaecologist's letter, and has spoken with me about the situation. He's sent a letter to the weight loss service asking that things be expedited.

Fingers crossed I hear something soon!

An update. Or rather a non-date Despite my GP sending out a letter the day after he received the consultant's letter, there's been no response from the WMS to date. It has been 4.5 weeks since he sent out the letter. I called the surgery on Friday, and was told to call back Monday morning and talk with my GP's secretary to see if she can chase things up with the WMS.

I'm really frustrated and down about it all. The gynaecologist inserted a Mirena coil to try and slow the progression of the endometrial changes in early October. My period started as scheduled about a week and a half later. I've been bleeding now for over 4 weeks - not heavy, but bleeding. I talked to the nurse help line at the 2 week stage, they told me not to worry. I've got another call in to them since it has now been over a month.

So very frustrated, scared and disheartened by the entire situation right now.

I've been in the weight management service system for several months now, so the initial referral has been made.

The WMS just called me, and I've got an appointment for the second phase with them. The earliest they can refer me would be January, but she said my GP can refer outside of that, and they're sending him a letter to explain how.

My biggest fear now is the wait once I've been referred on, but we'll have to see how that goes.

Thanks for your response, maybe it was your well wishes that caused them to call tonight!

Well, the WMS mostly let me down...(that's a story for me to tell / make complaints about post-op) but eventually I got there.

I've received my referral appointments at Salford Royal for next month.

Gulp.

Very real. More than a bit scary.

Another update. I've had my sleep apnea test, and psychological appointment. Don't know yet about the sleep test, and passed the psychological one. Next week: big all in one appointment where I meet the surgeon. I'm on the way, I think!
