Hi Everyone,
I am from Nova Scotia, wait time here is 10 years! One surgeon, my Dr. just put in the referral you are not allowed to even call the clinic to see if they have received the referral.
I wish Canada would recognize obesity as a health condition and put in place the correct resources. I am a nurse and disgusted with the lack resources.

We will be renting a large group campsite at Hicks Lake in Sasquatch Provincial Park near Harrison Lake. On Saturday we will have a big Potluck BBQ and Campfire. There are no hook ups at the group site, and no electricity. This is very wilderness type site, there are 2 pit toilets, a water tap and a picnic shelter with a wood stove.
