WLS is so crazy!!!

[ricke17]

I am now 20st 8lb having lost another 6lb in a week.

Despite having hardly anything to eat, I am loving my RnY so much!

Since I was first referred to Homerton in May 2008 I have lost almost 5 stone!

Sorry to brag!

You brag all you like mate, you deserve to. You are an inspiration to us all and I'd be happy if I'm half as successful as you are

At the very beginning! My GP has just referred me to the hospitals bariatric team - luckily(?!) I have a BMI over 50 so should be fast-tracked according to the Central Lancashire PCT, but that still seems to mean months and months away!

It is a very confusing process and blogs, like your's, are a great source of info. It is all very vague with 'suitability for surgery' and 'NICE criteria', it seems they have a get out clause at every available turn!

AFAIK according to the NICE Guidleines on WLS anyone with a BMI of over 50 is automatically considered for surgery as the primary way of losing weight: http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/pdf/CG43NICEGuideline.pdf (Page 11).

Keep us updated honey

Sorry to be personal (feel free to tell me to MYOB) but does your skin feel too big?

The crazy thing is I have no hunger nor appetite - I was/am a cheese-a-holic and still eat 1 matchbox sized piece a day "for the protein"!!

I shall be eating a sandwich with lashings of jealousy on for my lunch!
Seriously - you tell a great story and I am so pleased that it is such a successful one. I think one sentence that stands out is that you are 'now eating to fuel the body'
