Hi
Snap my doctor refered me for banding on Friday of last week. What area has hee refered you to? I am going to luton and Dunstable.
I really want to know what happens next!
PPS.
I had to have two things before I could be refered. I had to have a BMI of over 40. Mines 43 plus I had to either have sleep apnea or diabetic. I knew I had sleep apnea but it was never proved. So I had to be refered to a sleep clinic.
Got the possitive for this and now being refered!
I went to my doctor nearly a year ago if not a year already .He said he would put me forward for surgery but in order for him to do this i had to see a dietician for a min of 6months and have a psychological assessment done to make sure there was no underlying depression etc .Well i have done that and i am still under my dietician.In june he finally applied for funding with the kent pct and my case was put in front of a panel,i have been approved for funding.
I recieved a letter asking which hospital i wanted to go through and i chose chelsea and westminster (this one had the shorter waiting list out of all thos on the list that i called)
I had a letter from c&w the other day telling me to contact them to arrange an out patient appointment.When i called she said that there is a certain time frame in which i have to be seen and that they didnt have any appointments so the manager would talk to the surgeon and they will call me.Iam still waiting for the call!!lol
what happens next?i have no idea but i do hope i will get the surgery (for some reason i have a feeling that just because i have been granted the funding it isnt definate that it will go ahead...i hope im wrong!!)
