Hello I come from Leicestershire

[daisey22 0]

Hi I am from Kent, morbidly obese and still trying to get an appointment with a specialist, not much luck so far as the funding is a problem here. I don't have a problem with food, I eat when I am hungry but I have a health problem and can't burn the food I do intake I have maintained this weight for a long time but I just can't lose it. I am hoping that with the band I can just reduce my portions to the minimum and get this rotten weight off me. I feel like a skinny person trapped in a wrong body - anyone else feel like that?

Hello Daisy22

Welcome to the site. It is a shame that there is little money in Kent for Weight Loss Surgery. From what I can gather from other sites you have to really pester your PCT and a letter to your MP is a must. I don't suppose you would consider self pay? A lot of people have to. I have also got private health insurance and they will not pay for it either. Anyway good luck with your weight loss journey.

Thanks for your reply, I would love to go private if I had the funds. I am now registered disabled (I can walk though) and my husband has MS and is in a wheelchair. So money is kinda tight. For years I felt it must be me but the GP has finally seen that I desperately need help. I will write a letter too, it may well help.

Cheers Jane

hi daisy22

have you asked your doctor to refer you for surgery if so get him/her to do so and just keep on pestering the pct , i am waiting to hear if they are going to fund my surgery and i asked to have it done at a private hospital, the lady from the hospital is chasing up the pct on my behalf,good luck and keep pestering

Hiya Daisy, another site I am on there is people on there that have funding and they live in Kent, maybe not the same part as you but you have to fight for this Hun.
