Another day, another pointless (well definitely premature!) thought is whizzing round my overactive brain.
I haven't had the date for my op yet and I am acutely aware that it might all go wrong but I have been thinking about post-op today.
I am in my 40s and v overweight so the chances of my skin "snapping" back into sleek shape after surgery are none existent :cry:So, I have to come to terms with the question of what I will do in terms of my excess skin.
I have read about tummy tucks etc but the question I have is a funding one. You see, we are hoping to move from London to South Wales - we have delayed moving until after my operation because we know that Wales has limited (ie pretty much non-existent) funding :cry:
But what is the general view of PCTs in South Wales re post weight-loss cosmetic surgery? (We are looking at Cardiff/Vale of Glamorgan)
I am expecting that I would have to fund it myself which would be do-able but very difficult as although I have a good job my OH isn't working and the chances of him getting another job are very slim. So any help would be very welcome.
Can anyone help?
love
