Even with your doc putting them straight, fact is (I'm guessing) if you don't meet criteria then it's a no go. It will destroy you more getting your hopes built up to be dashed again so great that you're thinking wisely. are you far off getting your bmi up high enough to not need the co morbidities? such a shame when you're here day in day out sharing everyone else's journeys....almost like a slap in the face xx

So sorry to see you have been turned down again Caren, I know how much you long for this operation. It must be heartbreaking seeing all of these other people getting the go ahead and you are always here to support all of us. I hope you don't have to give up and will get there eventually. XXXX

Can PALS Not help?? Xx

 

[Slimmingnix]

Gosh Caren, so sorry to hear the bad news. Appeal if you can, or as you say, see if your GP can write a letter to support your application. They may be strict with their criteria, but you can be persistant!!!
Good Luck with your journey....

(Can I ask, is there a BMI threshold with your PCT, or is this irrelevant as co-mobs must be diagnosed?)

no honey, i dont fit the criteria, end of xx

 

[Big joe]

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:

That's so bad sorry to hear love. Don't give up...c ur doc ASAP. X

Yes, it totally sucks. I saw you mention in another thread about how emotional it is, and whether you should give up on the idea all together. I am feeling like this too. I know i talk about going abroad for surgery, but in reality, i REALLY cant afford it. I am scared stiff of getting myself in a mess financially (single mum of 2, huge mortgage, one child to go to uni in 2 years time etc etc), and question whether i am being silly by even considering surgery abroad. I so wish i could stick to an ordinary diet:cry::cry::sigh::sigh::sigh: xxx
