No funding for me :(

[Caren]

hello everyone, I managed to get hold of the pct today and she said that my funding has been declined as my doctor has not stated that my sleep apnoea is severe, and he hasnt said that ive done 6 months weight management. Well i'm going to see my doc to see what we can do, but my sleep apnoea is mild :cry:

Ohhhh Caren, (HUGS). Get on to your GP asap and demand he gets in touch with them. I hope you are OK hun xxxx

 

[Dinda]

Oh no Caren, it sounds like you are doing the right thing getting on to the GP. Your SA affects your job (you can say you LOVED bus driving and it is your dream to return to it!) and make sure the GP includes the years of attempted diets/weight management attempts.

It isn't over x

 

[minime]

Aww Caren, sorry to hear that, but get back to your GP quicksmart and see what they can do.

 

[ladiedevilish]

im allowed to drive buses now mate xxx

 

[Dinda]

I know you are not allowed to drive busses babe, Isn't that because of the SA? so if the SA/weight is preventing you from your dream job it would be cruel to deny you the op!

Caren can now drive because she started treatment for sleep apnea. So her sleep apnea is under control so therefore can go back to driving x
So sorry to hear about you being refused keep fighting x

Tell your doctor off for not submitting the right info, in fact, give him a right hander.
Sorry its not good news

Good luck in fighting this Caren. You know I'm in the same boat and currently my MSP is working on it for me with the hospital so if you cant get anywhere with your GP get on to your local MP and have them fight at it for you as well. You do meet national guidelines so your PCT policy is wrong!

sending you Hugs too x

 

[snagglepuss]

That's crap news Caren. You have to fight this all the way.........remember the nightmare Andy had, and he didn't give up and look how close he is now. Your GP needs a kick up the **se or find a new GP who takes weight loss surgery seriously - that's what I had to do, as my original doc was dead against it. Dont give up, whatever you do xxxxx

 

[newcy]

Oh Caren pet what a nightmare! Get yourself to the GP - floods of tears and all so he gets it sorted out.
BIG HUGS xxx

my doctor isnt against it, he will write back and tell them what they need to know, but they are strict on their criteria, i HAVE to have severe sleep apnoea and mine is mild
