Topic: RE: Newly Accepted/Victoria Waitlist

Hi Carla. I had my surgery Nov 9th, 2017. I was on a waiting list for 2 years, and then it took a year on top of that for preparation tests, dietician visits, counselling, and Dr. visits

It's worth the wait!

I have no idea about the processes on the Island, I only ever was a part of the Richmond program.

Thank you for your response, it gives me hope that once I get the call all will proceed quickly (I hope). The wait leading up to the orientation call is what is going to kill me, just seems so far away. I wonder if the process is similar in Victoria as it was in Richmond for you?

I had Dr. Sampath in Richmond.

I couldn't ever stomach the Optifast. I went with the Costco brand Premier Protein. Sounds like your surgery might be right around the corner and thats fantastic!

I'm just over a year out now and the weight loss has slowed. I keep going from months of losing to months of maintaining - almost there though. And they said it would slow as you get closer to goal lol

I was contacted by the Victoria clinic at the end of August, had orientation in January, approved for surgery in February. I have an upper GI and see Dr. Amson in late April. I'm hoping he will give me a date in the spot lol. I've already ordered my optifast. ????

Who was your surgeon? I meet Amson in April.

Premier Protein IS far more palatable.

The bariatric clinic will fax your referral back to your GP, to show when you were added to the waitlist.
