Hi I went to the seminar in June 10, then had my appointment with Kim Jan 11. I have an appointment mid July 12, she said it would be 3-4 months so I was disappinted when it was over 6 months. I think it took about 1 month to come through. I called to ask if I could be considered for any cancellations however was told this would not happen as people do no cancel at this stage. I have looked into transfering to James Cook, will let you know how I get on. My GP tried to refer me to James Cook however it took me back to weightloss meetings, to then see if funding would be approved. Whereas at Sunderland, if you attend a seminar you know it has been approved. I want to transfer waiting lists but it isnt as simple. I have emailed my GP now to see if I can be referred to the consultant direct oppose to this weight loss group. Will let you know how I get on x
