Hi everyone
I went to my GP today to start the ball rolling.
As I am aged 63 with some weight related health issues including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure & sleep apneoh? I was not sure if I would get help from the NHS? He said he was not fully up to date with the funding criteria but would find out for me and if I qualified he would put me forward. One thing he did suggest was for me to see a consultant privately £150-200, and any recommendation he made should make it easier for him to get me funding.
I trust my GP he's the very best and I am sure of his support if its in my best interest. I told him I will let him know on monday.
I am sure I have read somewhere that I can get free consultation with a WLS surgeon to find out what options are best for me.
Any help or advice will be greatfully recieved.
