Still not heard anything! 6 weeks now, I've had a letter referring me to the weight loss programme. My doctor actually has been great and has seen me through all my diets and understands I have tried. I'm now talking to bmi and have a consultation in two weeks. Personally I've had a horrific year, lost my dad, started a gruelling new job, weight has crept up, etc and I want to start the year fresh and wipe the unhappiness clean. So I really want it all sorting by Christmas! I'm 27 and don't feel I've lived a life yet, am jut a hermit. Am glad St George's were good for you and wish you all the luck! Fingers crossed they pull their fingers out!

Hi all, I was recent referred by my doctor for weight loss surgery and I really want a gastric sleeve. I have finally heard from St George's who want me to follow a Weight loss programme with them before they will consider surgery. Have any of you had this? I'm at the end of my tether and can't go on like this. Considering self funding but can't afford to really and would sorted ASAP. How long were you made to follow a weight loss programme? I feel like I've been on a permanent diet since I was 12 in now 27 and want to start my life. Still waiting on a date for my appointment for this crappy weight loss programme!

How quick were you able to have the surgery once you had decided?
