Was wondering what the difference is between me going myself to chemist for packs or doing it through my GP.

Does it still cost the same? Weekly WI's at chemist or doctors?

Im just being nosey and seeing which way is best :)

i get it from my gp for £28 a week
 
This seems a lot cheaper. Is that the same price a pharmacy near you would charge? If so i need to move lol.
 
No my closest pharmacy charges about £35
 
Ahhh ok.
Well i have docs appt next monday for something unrelated to this, might mention it to her. Saying that though she can be a hard faced cow when it comes to weight loss. Shes of the diet and exercise only mindset. :(
 
hmmmm one of the nurses at my gp's is like that, she's stick thin and has just climbed some huge mountain!!! i dont like seeing her about my lipotrim because of her attitude!
 
Hiya, mines from the GP too, it's cheaper because pharmacys & chemists do it on a "for profit basis" where as the doctors surgeries don't (providing your registered there).

Also if your doctors a bit of an old hack, ask for an appointment with the nurse or person that specialises in Diets at your surgery. (it's actually a nurse at mine rather than a doctor). They'll then check your blood pressure and do your weigh ins etc instead for you each week.

Just out of interest Pizzle which surgery do you go to coz you just exactly described a nurse that sees me too! lol

Hope this has helped.

Its in st stephen, i dont see that nurse i see another one thats lovely and she runs her own slimming clinic too.
 
OMG pizzle we're both at the same surgery! lol. I know exactly what you mean she was horrible when i first went - she was like "Oh you won't stick to it and people never keep the weight off so don't expect too much etc etc"

She's been really nice to me lately though coz i've totally proved her wrong! ha ha. Shes my regular nurse too - i don't often get to see the other - and she lovely too.

It's really nice to know i'm not the only on it from round here!

Thanks for the info lovely ladies :)

The doc i see is the same pizzle. Probably weighs about 8 stone soaking wet and carrying a huge sack of spuds!

Ill give the docs a wee phone tomorrow and see if i can change the doctor.
 
Wow small world! it is nice to know there's someone else in the little village :)
 
It certainly is. lol I'm not really in St Stephen though I live in Nanpean but i've not met anyone else on it yet (although only one person at my kids school knows i'm on it to be fair) ha ha

I used to live in st stephen but i moved to grampound road a few months ago. Im not going to move doctors just incase i cant get lipotrim!!
 
When's your weigh in day?
