Anyone else had to do 'The Weigh Ahead Programme' ?

Hmmm mine was pretty simple I had 1 group meeting at the hospital talking about all the surgery options food how it will be after etc Then a few pre op appointments 1 with the shrink that’s all I needed they told me I had no issues I would need to work out so no need to book any more with them. Did the health tests blood work discussed what surgery I wanted. That was it waited for my date and done.

Wow

Wish it was that easy here. No such luck. With what I've read on here seems that some health authorities are putting more and more obstacles in the way. Also in our area you have to have a minimum bmi of 50. I really envy you. Also we had to complete the whole programme, even if we had no issues, and hit all of our targets. Without reaching our goals we could not progress. I don't really mind all that I've been through, because I'm committed, but I do mind the delay. It's causing upset and stress. I so need to move on.

Sounds as though you're post op Sassy. How much by?
