    P-A-P

    I think its to cover themselves incase there may be any medical contraindications of going on such a diet and so the doctor can monitor you

    but yes i would imagine that they would be glad you want to loose weight

    not all docs like CD though app!!

    Hi Alpha (been reading your journey ~ hope you dont mind). I understand that but what I dont get is when you havent been to the doctors for months you need bother him :confused: Not many people, be them docs, friends or people online I have seen dont like VLCD however when its that or surgery on the nhs you would think they would be signing untill no tomorrow :rolleyes: Ah well, these hurdles are set to try everyone and anyone :rotfl:

    What did you say to your doctor Alpha. Did s/he just sign it?

    I dont mind at all!! :)

    My CDC never sent me to the doctors :eek: she should have! but she didnt. And i am so glad she didnt because i hate docs :o

    I went to mine when i started putting the weight on and all he said was loose weight. How b****y helpful is that :rolleyes: anyhoo. I was BMI45!! :eek: so technically should have gone.

    I would have been so scared that they would not let me do it and because of my knees i cant excercise much to get enough off by myself (once more weight comes off my knees should improve though.

    You thinking of joining us P-A-P??
