 Awesome news for you :)
I wonder if it is a sign that wait times are becoming shorter.
How are doing as the day gets closer?

Hi !,

I`m sorry that you`ve been waiting that long, how terrible. I haven`t heard many good things about Dr. Tang nor the rest of the Vic bariatric group. I went through the West Coast Bariatric out of Richmond. Absolutely fabulous Dr`s and people.

I started my journey in 2009 but hesitated for a year, hence the delay. I was sleeved on April 10th of this year and reality is, you should have been done by now too. Please may I make a suggestion? Try the one in Richmond, you'll be so much happier and done a heck of a lot sooner to boot! It's only my opinion, but I think everyone who wants it, should have this chance. Look into it, what have you got to loose?
 

I hope it all works out for you, no matter what you decide!

Hi! great to hear from a "Valley Girl"!  We will have to meet and get to know each other.

I should have added that if you want to persue the Out Of Country funding you should call MSP and ask them how to go about it.  This is what I was told by the receptionist of my Family Doctor.
Cheers
