Funding is the hard part, so well done!

They do a few tests to make sure your heart etc.. Is up to the operation so dont worry.

I got my funding in August and my first appointment was the end of September but it does depend on the hospital and how busy they are.

Good luck x

how do you know if you have funding?? I did wmc and was told I had qualified for surgery and the doc was going to send the forms off to whoever but I've never had a letter saying I've got funding but I've got an appointment to see the surgeon and others so does that mean my funding is in place??

What I understand is they will apply for funding once you have seen the surgeon. I'm in a similar position just waiting for my appointment with the surgeon at derby royal. Docs don't seem to know the nxt step which is a pain when your really eager to get going. It's just a waiting game ?

Hi lee, I'm in Merseyside and I had to wait for my funding to be approved before I was referred to a surgeon. Seems pointless seeing a surgeon (and a waste of money) if you don't have funding surely?

 

[Lee 77]

Well the way I see it chic is, if you are seeing the surgeon and the physiologist etc the funding must be there I'm from Walsall so that's what I'm hoping. good luck

hi guys my doctor refer me to a weight specialist doctor who said he is the one who applies for the funding for me he will take my case to a panel who then decides, that was in aug then in oct i received a letter frm him stating he got me funding for my op and a appointment would come through to see the surgeon in heartlands hospital which is the 7th jan then im not sure then x

Lee you're right- I didn't hear anything about funding either - just had letters saying when my appointments were and sailed through from there
