Hi all,
Ive just spoken to Mr Ackroyd secretary who informed me that my doc referal can no longer go direct to Mr A it has to go to Rachel Holt (consultant psychologist at Walton Hopsital). As the services name suggest they offer a 3 tier system to assess who qualifies for WLS. And guess what unless you have a BMI of 45+ comorbities you dont qualify. There assessments for tier 1 & 2 are assessed from 12 weeks to a year.
Yesterday i felt like i had been thrown a life line, now its gone.
I have been a binge eater for about 4/5 years.
I fell ill 5 years ago with what was later diagnosed as gall stones. For 10 months (while to NHS identified gall stones) i was frequently admitted to hospital in acute pain. By the time they removed my gall stones my gall bladder was full with gravel like stones.
After the surgery the pain continued, everyone said i couldnt be suffering a gall stone attack as my gall bladder had been removed.
3 Months later an emergency MRI scan showed the stones had leaked into my bile duct prior to the removal of the gall bladder.
An ERCP was arranged to remove the stones and put a stent in my bile duct. The ERCP caused me to have acute pancreatitis for which i spent a week in high dependency then another week on the ward.
From that point on i suffered from abdo pain until 4 weeks ago after sudden loss of sight i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as my pancreas had finally stopped working.
For 5 years i have been in & out of hospital. At the worst points i was self administering ora morph for which i became dependent due to the length of time using it as a pain killer. I was so scared about the withdrawal and the pain that my parents out of desperation paid for 1 week in detox where i was sedated for 4 days while i withdrew from morphine.
So out of all that the only thing i had control of was my food. I binged, i still binge. I despise myself and now I feel I have no hope.
Someone please tell me what i can do.:cry:
