I'm one step closer to having the op. Very chuffed :)

[yorkiegal]

I rang the hospital today to check the outcome of the multidisciplinary team meeting at which they'd discussed my case, and guess what? They've agreed to offer me the bypass surgery! I was worried that the anaesthatist would refuse but he's agreed as long as I go into high dependancy after the op.
So just the funding to go now and apparantly the surgeon has written a really good letter to them, mentioning how I spent lots of money on private cbt so I'd be ok to have the op etc. I should know within the month.

I'm so chuffed. I never really thought when I had the gp referral in february, that I would actually get the op. Hopefully I should be on the losers bench by feb next year.

cbt is cognitive behavioural therapy. The bariatric nurse wanted me to get my binge eating under control before considering the op, but the waiting list for therapy was huge so I shelled out £90 a week from my benefits on private therapy and lived on beans on toast for a while. I guess it showed them how committed I was.
