I'm being impatient here as I'm seeing my new CDc tomorrow, so I'll find out soon enough, but...
I have read/been told that I have to have a BMI below 40 to start SS OR get a doctor's note. I've already enquired and found that a doc's note will take seven days and cost £15 (!!!), but, annoyingly, my BMI is just 40.8! To get below 40, I have to lose 5 lbs, which I'm sure I could do in a few days with or without CD. I just wondered whether my new CDc may be a little flexible about this? Is it a strict rule, or do you think she might overlook the extra 5 lbs? The sensible thing would be for me to rebook my appointment for next week and starve myself for a few days, but I don't really want to! ~ I just want to get started!
Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has started with this predicament!
