Which PCTs fund plastics?

[ravelling]

This may have been asked already, so I'm sorry if I'm duplicating another thread.

Is there a list of PCTs which fund plastics after WLS. I know some budget for a 'package' including some reconstructive surgery.

I'm a million miles away from there yet (still pre-op) but was wondering if I stood any chance of getting it on the NHS or whether a remortgage was on the cards!

I live in the Tees and Hartlepool PCT and am having my bypass surgery in Sunderland.

After reading this post i rang my pct Enfield and spoke to someone and explained my concerns that when i get to goal i would of lost 18 stone and already my skin is horrendous, and i was told they do fund plastics after wls so that was def good news, and i def fit their criteria just hope they are as understanding this time next year lol

I have a PDF of the NICE guidelines for plastic surgery saved, but I can't attach it as the file is too big. I'm sorry, I cant remember where I found it so cant post the link.

If anyone wants it, PM me your e-mail address and I will e-mail it to you.
