I've taken the bullet today and made my first appt session Friday, doc appts Monday and start the course from Monday Night.
However, I'm worried I will be turned away, let me explain
My BMI is just under 29, I am 48 yrs old, started an early menopause at 39 and this is when my weight problem first started. Added to that 5 months ago I was found to by Glucose Intolerant Type II diabetes.
I am an apple shape with a waist measurement of 36" putting me at high risk of heart problems because the fat stores around my vital organs. I am a size 18/20 on top but only a size 12/14 on bottom!
My doctor has been prescribing reductil which 'sort of worked', but now doesnt.
My own doctor is now on holiday, so I am booked in to see another GP, now as some of you know, you get very understanding docs and then you get some awful ones who still believe diet and exercise and willpower is enough!
I'm worried that this doc will not sign the form for me to proceed with the programme.
Any advice, tips welcome please.
