Well on the 11th January 2012 I went to the weightloss surgery seminar which was interesting to say the least. I have now been given a date to have my one to one with the consultant and the dietician it is on the 7th February. I am worried that I will not fill the criteria for the surgery as although I am overweight weighing 242lbs, my BMI is 42 and I suffer from a hiatus hernia I am otherwise okay.
At the seminar there were people there with sleep problems, diabetes, heart trouble, etc so my concern is I dont have the right symptoms.
Is there anyone who has had the surgery with just been overweight and a high BMI ???:sigh:

Did you go to the Seminar in Sunderland? If so you have already been granted the funding Yay! I think that at this point my BMI is under 40 after weight loss so far and I have no co-morbidities either. I currently waiting for an op date.

Hi yes I have nothing but high bmi when I started, it depends on your pct what the criteria is. Mine in north east is bmi 40 or bmi 35 with co morbs. X
