OMG, you've just reminded me...more football, I'll be a WCW too!!! Thank goodness I won't miss the TV....I really don't mind him watching it, it's the screaming & swearing during the match, then the sulking if the team he supports loses!

 

[loubyl00]

Although I didnt have to wait long (12 weeks in total) The Blackpool PCT have changed the BMI now since I had my surgery, going from a 40 Bmi to 50 Bmi.

Yup, our lovely Jan definitely gets the award for longest wait that I'm aware of (plus another award for being very patient & persistent...nearly there now Jan!). I actually thought there was a minimum time wait until I got on here...well, what do I know, b*gger all apparently! I'm really pleased for everyone who gets their surgery but I'm also madly jealous!!!! :jelous: I don't want to drag around this fat sorry excuse for a carcass any longer than I have to!

Bloody hell i think this is awful it will force people to put on more weight to get the operation or go into a lot of debt. We are all desperate, or wouldn't be doing this. I think my BMI is 49. All PCT's will probably change to these guidelines in the future i think its a shame. After all its an illness xxx

I was told today that the waiting list in york is around 5 months plus another 3-4 months for the pre op tests. He said to expect around 10months in total. I was very pleasantly surprised.

 

[loubyl00]

Yorkiegal. That sound reasonable doesnt it?

Have you already got your funding?

 

[loubyl00]

[loubyl00]

good grief Jan,
you must have the patience of a saint. At least you NOW have your date.
Wishing you all the best for your op and weight loss. You really deserve to do well.
