Hi all
Tonight the Doctor rang me after having applied for funding and told me they have asked for me to attend a weight loss clinic - he also told me that this was no guarantee of a yes to funding.
He has made me an appointment to see him for a chat and to fill in the form he was sent on Wednesday at 10am.
I have heard that I may have to attend for a year and worry about having to follow another plan different to SW - although I may come off plan sometimes I always want to return to SW... the thought of getting my head round a maybe more restrictive eating plan worries me.
My Dr said he has never heard of these clinics so will be a bit blind leading the blind.
I have shed tears since this phone call and even contemplated bingeing (THANKFULLY I talked myself outta that !!) - I feel completely thrown by this like I was when was put on Xenical previously ....... I was expecting a YES or NO answer to the funding not yet another obstacle to jump!
I feela bit damned if I do damned if I don't - IF I attend this clinic and lose then they'll say I don't need the surgery BUT I know I do as I am a serial yo-yoer and my levels are worrying me Diabetes wise.... BUT if I gain then they may say I am not committed enough!????!!!
Shame my Mum is on holiday - would've loved her to come with me for moral support (she came with me to ask for referral - twice!)
Have to take with me 4 weight measurements for over 2010 and stop start dates and losses gains but the best place for me to get that was on SW website but now I can no longer get access to my weight loss chart
Anyway - end of update.... wish me luck for Wednesday at 10am
