Ive looked forever at wls but never done anything i can try and it do it solo im now at the point where i know i need help

I rang my gp surgery this morning for a appointment they asked what it was regarding i said my weight

Hiya,
I’m not convinced she would be able to refer you so you made still need to see your GP, yes just explain the truthful reason that you are there, if they do try asking you to try other things first just politely explain that you’ve try everything and you’d like the opportunity to discuss options with specialists in that area.
I’m sure it will be ok, best advice is to research research research and then research some more, there are loads of diary’s on here to read, a lot of the more recent ones are in the bronze section and you need 100 posts to access those but just keep in touch and you’ll soon hit 100.
Good luck, keep us updated xxx
