Hi Sas
I thought it might be about a 3/4 month wait - thats what it was for my sister after the initial decision.
I had suggested the procedure to my sister a long time ago because she was also overweight, diabetic (injecting every day) and had a number of other medical problems. She asked her consultant about it, he agreed to refer her and it went through very quickly. Since the procedure she no longer has to inject and her diabetes has gone!!
I have given my sister the link now, so she will probably be on here soon too! - anyway Sass good luck with your progress!!
regards Juneyjoy
