i went to my gp ,it took me 4 months to build up courage to ask and then make my husband go with me for (i am serious about this dont dismiss me affect i tend to get at the drs ) and i had been considering a band /bypass as a solution to my wait gainfor about 18 months before i went to my gp
my history is
car crash 11 years ago , severe pain which to finally manage the pain and now work for myself (after 8 years on sick) i have to be very selective with physical activites , no lifting ,no straining no vibrations ok to walk on flat but every other activity puts me in bed
decided 5 yrs 9 mths ago we wanted a baby went cold turkey with pain meds conceived first try( super fertile ) so i could cope spent most of pregnancy in bed
matthew arrived
had a denervation procedure on my neck a few months after having matthew and it helped get me more active and less pain (Professor Richardson Chronic pain management godsend gave me a life back )
started my embroidery business from home arround the kids and pain
decided to try for sara- jayne took 2 attempts to conceive .
also i have a teenage boy who would die of shame if i was to name him
also i have overeaten but even when i diet and stick to it 100% no cheating i couldnt loose weight some days i bet i dont walk half a mile around the house while i am working
so i was desperate to
1 make sure i dont get any bigger and get out of the risk bracket for hear attack and cancer
2 loose some weight and feel better about my self
history finished back to drs
i told her i was out of control binge eating at night ok or nothing in day ,
she knows all my family illness history
she said i was 40.3 body mass thingy
but she had refered some one else bigger than me who was refused and thought it was a waist of time as she new they would say no
no ofer to send me to a dietician or a controlled physio excercise class(neck) or any thing
i was distraught i had built it up as my only answer
hubby to the rescue we are in a fixed mortgage till 30 june and up for review he said we should get the 10,000 on the mortgage if they would give it us
so here we are now waiting on my mortgage decision
back to your question on nhs referals in lancashire if other peoples drs are as unhelpfull as mine its no wonder not many are done arround here.
