I can never understand how health insurance regulators sleep at night being so ether being against or prejudice regarding patients with particular issues or disabilities regarding particular operations I really feel for you as I now gone 5 years having my RNY op and I cannot get my excess skin removed by my uk gov health system because I am not suffering with blood clots or because my excess skin is reaching the ground or have cellulitis. Despite being disabled with cerebral palsy also have a curviture of the spine and other probs the being made worse with the excess skin I have from the RNY op and because of the weight of the skin I am on opium based medications for pain. I now eat virtually nothing these days due to having no sensation of hunger ether. I will be honest I too have tried too get health insurance too get my excess skin removed with no joy because of of RNY op they won't cover the op I need. The only way I can get my excess skin removed I guess is get the uk gov health service too court but problem is getting legal assistance but I fight though my pain and sort of understand what u r going though with your plight. I will be honest too I was bullied badly at senior school and had 5 yrs of living hell I then went onto a residential college which of was raped by a evil carer over a 2 year period I was hurt physically too because I was going too tell but he got to me and hurt me before I cld say anything I never said nothing to no one for about 5 yrs after I left my college but I reported it to the police in a safe house I then was told he was charged and released but I cldn't take the animal to court because pple with learning disabilities were not recognised as witnesses under uk law until two weeks later due the law changing but because the uk laws run slightly different under welsh law we cldn't get him sentenced but he's on the sex offenders list for life and not allowed too work with vulnerable or children for life now ether which is something I guess welsh police did try too imply me a lier prior too my interview I then tried too overdose as I could live with times I was abused again but when I was discharged from hospital I got a sorry call from them they said we were sorry we did not know the additional information we had from my interview also I have and still have internal damage from being abused from this animal. I have had no support from my parents with what I went though but I just shown a stiff upper lip as British pple say but just live each day as it comes. But I see myself as survivor and not a victim. But u need too belief somebody will see sense someday and have humanity too help you as it is well documented many conditions with eating disorders are connected with obesity they must be lost in past some where in my opinion. I had a friend once whom had a severe eating disorder and mild learning disabilities ,also severely obese too with prader Willis syndrome which they are hunger all the time and the full messages never get though too the brain but despite her parents trying to get help they cld for her she died from her severe obesity sadly. I told a bit of my story and a bit of friends story because I understand sort of what u r going though and I also witness my m8 whom too had a eating disorder too so I know in many ways what r going though and remember u r not alone ever ok. So if your health insurance don't see sense then they don't have humanity to help when rightfully they should. I tried umpteen health insurance company's in the uk despite saying they will help anyone with any conditions at affordable prices which clearly is a blatant lie. My fingers will stayed crossed and I hope you get the good news u rightfully deserve. From Dan uk

It's nice too hear some people have full faith in their doctors like you do I sadly liked many in the uk don't trust their doctors as many surgical and paperwork mistakes are more a common place than ever despite the uk gov subsidised health service constraints bariatric pre op ad aftercare I sadly say is really poor and refuse many like myself skin removal surgery so like many I am taking the NHS too court for neglect of of care and for the non necessary pain and suffering. On the subject of blood clots I had 3 of them prior my RNY op 2 in the leg and one on the lung that nearly killed me. In one as sect I am grateful for having RNY op in one way but regret in one way because of the un-nessary pain I am enduring because of the pain I am on opium based medications and I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. But on a positive it's nice too hear positive stories like yours though I gives me hope in one day I will be as positive as you are I wish all the love and luck in the world. Tke care Dan UK.

Hi all I partly regret having my gastric bypass op for two reasons 1 for my surgeon too make my stomach smaller than he legally should of done for my height he told me what he did after he did my op. the second is. That the NHS in the uk Have refused me twice by writing and 6 times verbally too have tummy tuck and too have my excess skin from my arms and legs too. I feel totally betrayed and let down by a medical service I should be be able too trust and rely on and clearly we cannot sadly its left me in greater pain than I did before my rny op with weight of the excess skin in front of me and weight everywhere else causing light sores now. I also only sleep 4 hours sleep if lucky if not that sometimes, due too excess skin. I also have a severe form no feeling of hunger which most RNY patients suffer from at somepoint but sadly I have a severe form of it. I appeared on a major bbc documentary in the uk highlight obesity funding crisis regarding NHS 5 years ago I was phoned up by this bbc production team and I appeared on the show after appearing in my local paper as a few others did with a similar plight I did appear along side a gastric bypass grp with along side my bariatric surgeon who highlighted the probs we were facing at the time. Then I was inited along too the bariatric support grp and was made welcome at first then about month later the big boss of bariatric grp came from London and attracted the grp leaders for not getting her consent and permission but she did get help from some medication company too pay for weekend training meetings and for staying in hotels etc but she then said she got phoned by magazines ad papers whom wanted too help us but she cruelly declined too pass our details onto us too possibly help us then from that moment I never went back as I felt I was taken advantaged of by the RNY grp too more funding I think and for for that so called boss deny us help was some flaming low life in my opinion. My advice to other uk RNY patients going under NHS too have weightloss ops I would check and check again if your local NHS will do the reconstructive surgery or not if is the case if so I wld if you can get a loan and go private as I feel so let down sad and betrayed by a so called health service many patients should be able too trust and sadly we clearly cannot sadly I am now in the process of taking legal action agaist NHS for neglect of care and for the unless art suffering of pain and cruel refusal for surgery I need shame on David Cameron for not making me suffer making others suffer like myself suffer is cruel and inhumane my fear with so many legal cases against the NHS going on I can see NHS oing under and I hope it does as it is a poor substandard service and its a real lottery where u live and what medical service du can or can't get.
