Thanks! Linda how are you doing? I have been wondering how your wt loss has been going. I never see u post anymore. E.

 drs amson & tang seem to have much longer waitlists than Nguyen & Sampath, so I'm not having to wait as long as some, but yeah - some days it feels like forever.

I've decided to use the wait time as a gift - this is my time to try to understand how I got here and what my life might look like afterwards - and to try to start living that life NOW, to the best of my ability.

that doesn't mean that I don't want to call the office and scream "I'm ready, dammit!!!"

 It's sexist to imply that the doctor is a man, and are you a part of the assessment team, asking because your post read like you were. 

I got my appointment in March, and it was yesterday. So I've just started the wait. 4 - 5 years is what the receptionist told me, and 3-4 years is what dr. Amson said. I did ask about going to Dr Tang instead if it was a shorter wait, but i"M a revision, so I really want the most experienced doctor (Amson) plus apparently Dr Tang's wait list is the same as Dr Amson...

/that is fantastic that Dr Amson is doing that again. He has done that numerous times and is a real advocate. How did you find out? How long have you been waiting. I am on Dr Tangs list. I would suggest contacting some of the folks that have been quite active in BC advocacy. Blake, Ron Merk and many others that are on some of the other sites.  dont know all the names but if you go to the site above I am sure that Ron Merk help you out.
