Yes, I think that is the way it goes but it is incredibly hard to get funding for this type of work in the current climate. There will be someone along soon to answer your question better soon ... good luck xxx

You will be very lucky to get plastics work funded through the nhs now.You had to be bmi of 25 for two years and then only if your skin was drasticly affecting you they would do it.I was told as I signed for my surgery not to expect plastic work on the nhs.I think you will have to go private,Good luck anyway.Maz x

When I got the letter from the PCT informing me that I'd been successful for NHS funding for my wls there was a paragraph that made it very clear they do not 'routinely' offer post weight loss cosmetic procedure funding and that I would have to be prepared to fund myself if I want work done later on.

Alexandra you have to see your GP for a referal
I have got funding for a tummy tuck in the last month and I haven't had to maintain at all though I did have to have my BMI below 25
It really does depend on your PCT

Thank you for that bit of news I have seen my GP and he has done referral so fingers crossed and my BMI is 23 so hopefully I'll get it ,I bet u feel great having tummy tuck bet it makes a difference I have such a lot of overhang on my bingo wings it's horrid and I done plenty of exercise but never helped and I would love to wear nice short sleeved dresses or tops thane again I'll keep you updated .

I have never come across a pct that will do arms or legs.
Tummy tuck and boob job if you are lucky but nothing else.
Good Luck
Let me know how you get on
