Baxter's mum
The bariatric team have now placed me with one of the surgeons and I am having all the required tests to see if I have a co morbidity. However, they haven't applied for funding yet and I'm not due to see them again for another 3 months. My dilemma is that my local pct give automatic funding for a bmi of 50 or over. Mine is now 49.7, having gone up slightly since my first appointment when it was 49.19.
The nurse has hinted that he fully expects me to have gained weight by the next time I see him so I'm not to get bogged down worrying about the criteria. However, the cbt therapy I've been having is having good results and I'm eating much more healthily now. I also have a puppy and am out exercising him 3 times per day. I don't see how I could possibly not lose weight over the next three months unless I really over eat and I don't have the appetite to do that anymore.
Short of putting weights in my pockets at my next appt what do I do? It's such a contradiction. To want to lose weight but to know it will stop me having the operation. I don't feel that I could lose all my excess weight without the op.
