So far I have been approved by the consultant and the surgeon (which was my appointment last night), if I am positive on the sleep study it carries a lot of weight with the PCT so if I could find out that result I could stop my worrying a bit (well maybe not knowing me). The surgeon writes back to the consultant and the same letter with his recommendations and reasons goes to the PCT asking them to fund I have to call him in 10 days to find out whats going on. So I think we are at the same level, its very stressful though and I am wiped out after a two and half hour journey to manchester last night which should of only taken 55 mins, I got home at 10.30pm and was shattered and not been able to catch up today, I wont raise any celebratery flags tell the PCT say yes and I will do all in my power to get them to say it. I have finally got my GP's secretary to fax over my patient history off their computor outlining that I have been trying with them to lose weight since feb 2006 it should outline all meds and a history of how my weight has increased not decreased. Will call the dreaded PCT tomorrow...xx
