It's been an emotional week.......1st of all I got a go ahead from a clinic and put finance in place for my surgery, then I got a phone call from the surgeons secretary to say he wouldn't do it. I was devastated, after hrs of crying and disappointment I spoke to the clinic again and spoke to a different lady. She couldn't understand why I had been refused and she approached a different Dr at a different hospital. Finally today I get a yes and an appointment for an initial consultation on the 2nd May.....just 7 days away. I have passed all the health questions so at the moment there is no reason to think it won't happen!!!! Fingers crossed!

Good luck to you! Weird that the first doctor wouldn't do it... feel like we're missing something there. Hopefully it won't be an issue with this new doctor moving forward. Congrats on the start o your journey!

Thankyou. The 1st Dr said my bmi was too low and wouldn't consider my other medical issues. The new Dr has taken these into account! Hopefully it will be plain sailing from here on in! ????

Well, I am glad you've found a surgeon that understands that BMI is only one factor (and a fairly meaningless one) in a person's long term struggle with weight and health.
