I am sure I read on here a while ago that Surrey PCT have changed their rules from following NICE guidlines for wls? Does anyone know what guidelines they do follow now?
Thanks for this. I definately meet the criteria! BMI 46 plus co-morbidities...
I am waiting for a revision - and have suddenly started to panic that the PCT will say no! I have had my band removed, and my consultant has written to request funding. Surrey PCT always followed NICE, but I am sure I read somewhere that they had changed...tried to phone, but could not get to speak to anyone of significance. Maybe I will just have to wait until they make their decision about me...

You did read the revised CG43? As I believe that's the one in use now.
Caz has made a good point though about yours being a revision surgery...perhaps this will go in your favour....fingers crossed.

Just a quick question, did your band mechanically fail?
I think they will help you if that is the case.
This is just for the band, not revision to bypass. Which I presume you are having. I reckon that's another kettle of fish all together.
It was my surgeon who told me of the changes.
But, yours did fail through no fault of your own. If it had been placed right, it would have worked.
