Hi all! I'm Natasha. I have just started on my journey for surgery.
I live in Derbyshire so I've had to complete an 8 week course with 'Tier Three Weight Reduction Service' where I had to implement a few life skills to loose weight which I have now done! They have said they will now be referring me back to my GP with their report which he will then send to the hospital but I have a few questions that I forgot to ask whilst I was there! So any people waiting or already had it, if you could help I'd appreciate it!
- Will they give me a choice of band or bypass? (I think I would prefer the bypass after much homework on the side affects and aftercare etc.)
- Who actually applies for funding and at what stage will I find out if I've got it or not?
- How long can I expect to be of work? My managers would be interested to know so we're not short staffed.
- Has anybody suffered much with loose skin? Any advice on anything I can do before hand to make sure this is kept to a minimum?
- Has it affected anybody's relationships with their partners greatly? I have had a boyfriend for three years and I think we're both a little nervous about change!
- How quickly did you have to buy new clothes? I'm just wondering if my size will change dramatically
Thank you in advance
I apologise if any of these questions are pretty dumb.. I'm 23 and have been trying unsuccessfully to loose weight since I was 6!:cry:! So although I'm pretty young it's been a long time coming. I will no doubt ask a million questions so I'm just hoping I can ask as many here!!
