Hi everyone
This is my first time here. Been reading some of the threads and good to know I am not alone with my weight misery.
I am thinking of asking my GP about weight loss surgery, but would like a bit of advice first. I was wondering what BMI you have to be before being considered and if this varies from area to area? I am in Kent.
My BMI is 38 and I also have high cholesterol which I take medication for, borderline BP and joint problems. I also have self esteem and confidence issues related to my weight.
I have previously been prescribed Reductil by a different doctor and also taken Orlistat, but without any real success.
I am a bit scared of approaching him in case he refuses me.
Any advice gladly received. Thanks
