gryffen 176 Posted January 14, 2017 So if the pathway is similar to here (just to say) then first appointment will be probably a meet n greet, set up if future appointment and if you qualify for help. I don't think you automatically qualify for surgery in England as its seems as Cosmetic surgery but it may mean a long term weight management pathway, shrink and maybe last appointment is a year or so down line. Friend in Brum had his done via NHS and his PCT was 3 appointment spread over 2 years . Call them up and ask for a closer appointment, may get lucky Fridge Pickers Wear Bigger Knickers ????
