I applied for a referral for weight loss surgery but have been told as my BMI is only 31 I won't be considered (has to be 40). I have battled with my weight since I was 21 (am now 59) but only diagnosed Type 2 13 years ago after completing 6 months of chemotherapy. Since then my medication has risen in terms of amount and type. I inject Humulin daily (16 units), take slow-release Metformin twice a day (1g), and take Glimepiride. I have developed liver cirrhosis, but don't drink and my cholesterol has just risen and so have been prescribed a different statin to what I was taking. I have been to Slimming World since November 2019 and lost 1 stone only (this is my 5th attempt in 10 years) and I exercise 7 days a week, either a 1-hour walk & kettlebell or cross-trainer and exercise bike. I have put on 8 pounds in lockdown and I am now upset that nothing else can be done. I will just wait for the next doctor to tell me I am obese (13st 10) and to lose weight. Sorry, a bit of a rant as I am feeling sad but has anyone else had this experience?
