Hi I have posted on the other section didn't see this how daft am I.

I have had a look on the BOSPA website and got this info

Hampshire

BMI over 60 or over 45 with serious comorbidities such as established ischaemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes requiring oral medication or insulin, life-threatening sleep apnoea, severe uncontrolled hypertension, benign intracranial hypertension, history of transient ischaemic attacks or stroke, severe lower limb major joint disease requiring orthopaedic intervention which is precluded on safety grounds due to the patient’s BMI.

It looks like Hampshire PCT are one of the hard ones to get funding from. You need to phone your pct and just confirm with them what their criteria is.

Hope this helps.

I'm not entirely sure what it means in this case to be honest. Terri has posted the bits from the NICE guidelines that count on another thread -

Have Got this document saved on my hard drive but here are the NICE guidelines if this helps

1.1.1.1 Bariatric surgery is recommended as a treatment option for people with obesity if all of the following criteria are fulfilled:
· they have a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or more, or between 35 kg/m2 and 40 kg/m2 and other significant disease (for example, type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure) that could be improved if they lost weight
· all appropriate non-surgical measures have been tried but have failed to achieve or maintain adequate, clinically beneficial weight loss for at least 6 months
· the person has been receiving or will receive intensive management in a specialist obesity service
· the person is generally fit for anaesthesia and surgery
· the person commits to the need for long-term follow-up.

1.1.1.1 In addition to the criteria listed in 1.2.6.1, bariatric surgery is also recommended as a first-line option (instead of lifestyle interventions or drug treatment) for adults with a BMI of more than 50 kg/m2 in whom surgical intervention is considered appropriate.
1.1.1.2 In people for whom surgery is recommended as a first-line option, orlistat or sibutramine can be used to maintain or reduce weight before surgery if it is considered that the waiting time for surgery is excessive.

The implementation tools for this guideline have information about more sources of information, particularly for professional groups. They are available from www.nice.org.uk/CG043

This document is dated December 2006 but is still current. I can't always find it when I go to the nice website. Hope this helps.


I have amazed myself the link above takes you to the page where you can select different formats to save to your computer the bit above is taken from page 53.
