Edmonton wait time

Thanks for all your comments. For anyone lurking, the comments are accurate around wait times.

I have a new question, how many classes after the Introduction to Bariatric Surgery? I forgot to ask the nurse.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for posting this thread--it's good to have a clearer idea of wait times.  My first appointment was in October, 2012.  I arrived having already completed all of the WW modules and well into my weight loss journey.  By the time all was said and done I was approved for the VSG in April, 2013.  The staff and doctor indicated an approximate nine month wait.  There have been two additional sessions I've attended since and been told that a new one is being developed.  If I understood correctly, this will begin this fall. 

In some ways the wait seems forever yet in other ways the time passes quickly.  Some days I get discouraged and feel like tossing everything aside but for the most part stick to using my pedometer and "My Fitness Pal."    I've done so well up til now, though, that by the time my date comes up I may be nearly at my goal weight.  That would be a nice problem to have.
