Plastics Funding
I received a letter from my doctor yesterday.
I have been awarded NHS funding for my plastics I am amazed, it has only taken 5 months to get approval, it took me 2 years to get funding for my bypass
I have been referred to a local surgeon to be assessed. He will see exactly what I need and then refer me on to an experienced and capable surgeon for bariatric reconstructive surgery
I feel over the moon:

Oh Lou,
What absolutely wonderful news! The NHS can be such a pain, but when they are good they can be remarkably good!
My fingers crossed that you get out of your visit/surgery what you desire!
Cheers!

Wow Lou, I can see why you are so excited!! Just think what it will mean to have so much of that panni removed. I just think of what an improvement it has been for Paul.
Keep us updated, this really is great news for you!
