Topic: Surgery is Booked!! WOW

So I have to say this is the best forum EVER. Not only did I get a ton of information here, but I also met one of the members her for coffee, and not only did she answer all my questions and give me a real look at living with the sleeve, she has agreed to accompany me for my trip!!!That has put my mind at such ease. I am scheduled for March 1, 2013... YIKES... But I am ready....ready as I will ever be!!! Now to organize my life !!! LOL

If you have a BMI of over 35 and a co-morb (Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, ect) you would qualify.

My BMI was not much higher than yours and I went through the program and got surgery, Please feel free to send me a msg if you want more information.  I would not count out the program here yet, I think if cost is a concern, you could try before you pay out of pocket.

I was told I do not have enough health issues yet, I am borderline everything, so I do not qualify.. I do not want to get sick when I have the opportunity to take steps now. I have booked my surgery!! Excited !! Scared all at the same time.

My first appointment at the clinic was August 10, 2012. I met the surgeon on February 6, 2013 and was given my surgery date the same day.

What part of Edmonton are you in? My afternoons are generally pretty flexible. I'm in the north end but have wheels.
