I've was told by the physio I'm seeing that until I get my BMI down I can't even be seen by the senior physio who will then decide if I can referred for surgery. It's been a year to get to this point and even if I am referred it will be a further 2 years probably before any surgery would take place. I get that there are benefits from losing weight before surgery but to say you can't even see a higher physio seems wrong. It is very difficult when mobility is affected to actually exercise and there is no advice about where to go to get any help, including options with Slimming World. Because I got so upset I have now been referred on to the senior physio so we will see what happens next.
