Has anyone had a gastric sleeve on the NHS?

How do I go about getting it done.

I’m 27 and my BMI is 47.9 I have a slipped disc and I just can’t deal anymore my weight is up and down all the time and I just need some help

Thanks

Hello chloe and welcome to the forum,

I haven't had any surgery, but certainly don't think it will be the answer to your problem. Not everybody who has surgery manages to keep the weight off, if they do manage to loose it.

As for how do you arrange one, you would have to go through your Doctor.

Why not get involved here, make some virtual friends and experience the support for yourself and see if that is enough to motivate you to find a healthy way of eating. We are a supportive lot and all have a story of some sort to tell. We are not all fit and healthy, many of our members are unable to exercise, but have still successfully lost weight.
