A quick question ( for NHS route in UK)

[MissFish 6]

Hi all!

Quick question. I attended my first group meeting through the weight management program the other week. While we were there we were told that the meeting was classified as tier 3 and we had to move through this tier, meeting with various doctors and dieticians for a year and also lose 10% of our body weight during this year before we could qualify for tier 4 which was weight loss surgery.

I was wondering if this is standard process in the UK when doing this via the NHS route? I’m not sure who else to ask about it.

Thanks for reading!

Hi what hospital were you referred to. I’ve got my first meeting next month which is also a group meeting. I wonder if it’s the same as what you went to.

I'm currently nearing the end of my weight management program/tier 3 and mine was a six-month course and I had to lose 5% of my body weight over the 6 months. I have heard that different areas have requirements.
