Hi
I just got back from seeing the Professor and he went through my History of attempted weight loss and everything and he come to the conclusion that I NEED Bariatric Surgery.
So what he's goin to do is to write to my PCT and tell them that Surgery is the only option for me and hopefully this may go a long way in securing my funding.
He did say that my PCT ( West Essex ) is the worst one to deal with... But I asked him if I will get surgery at some stage and he said Yes.
So from all the hassle yesterday in feeling much more confident that I will get my
Funding.
What I'm going to do next is this... Next Thursday I'm seeing my GP and the following week after I'm seeing the dietician.. My 6 months is up and they're going get a letter from my dietician, sleep Apnoea nurse, Professor of Medicine and
My GP to state I've done everything the PCT have asked of me... If they refuse me I'm Appealing and then will go to my MP for back up....
A pretty good result all round I think
Thanks for listening
