Hi all!!
I finally plucked up the courage to go to the doctors to discuss weightloss surgery and it went well.
I had a diabetes test first and it came back that I was pre diabetic.
Iv always been a chunk but now im over 19stone, bmi of 41.
My dad and grandad have heart disease, My dad had a heart attack at age 39 and My grandads had two and his brother died of heart attack.
Youd think this would be enough to shock me into doing it alone, but Iv come to realise it isnt that simple.
So. My doctor has refered me to the tier 3 weight management programme which from what iv read on here is for 6months, although i have seen some people mention only doing it for 12weeks, im unsure why tho.
Im excited that my journey has started but Im also nervous. I think because i dont fully understand how it works,my bmi is 41 so i know i qualify. But if i lost weight in the 6months and fall under does that mean i no longer qualify? Or does the family history and the prediabetes mean anything?
Im aware i could be waiting a while to be invited to the tier 3 plan, i cant help but want it all now lol.
