[zaicandy]

Based in West Lothian

I have been referred to a specialist weight management clinic, have my second appointment tomorrow and I wondered if anyone here who is in Lothian was prescribed weight loss medication?

I am not diabetic but I am too much debt to afford it on my own. Really don’t want to borrow more money so I just wondered. BMI is over 50

Hopefully you don’t mind me asking

If you have been referred to weight management services they should be able to start it as long as its appropriate for you and there are no contraindications. Having that said there are different weight management services so it depends on which one you've been referred to. I hope you get the support that you need.

the lothian weight management service I believe.

I will ask ask at my appointment tomorrow

Don't think they have started them yet unfortunately

Ah ok. I guess I will just stay on the list for surgery then

You can buy them at registered pharmacies online and in-person.

I know. I just can’t afford them right now unfortunately

No, Lothian don't prescribe yet. Moving that way though.

I have bought some, fingers crossed they will prescribe soon
