When did your gp send the forms in and how long before the consult did it take.....my gp sent in my forms June and I was accepted for surgery but I haven't heard anything back from them ....?
My gp tells me I am on the acceptance list but I have not be contacted by the dr. In Winnipeg how am I to know find out if they have even set a date for my surgery or anything .....I was accepted June 2013 .....still no word.....

Thanks for the advice! I am happy with my results so far but was a little frustrated! Thanks again!
I agree - stay off the scale for a while. On one of my plateaus, a wise friend told me scales are for fish and if you ain't a fishso you shouldn't be on one. LOL. I follow her advise every plateau....I stay away from the scale for a few weeks, keep exercising, logging food and water, water, water and then in a few weeks when you do step on VOILA!
Congrats on losing 80 pounds! :)
Thanks all, I am feeling great and working out at the gym so on ward and up ward!
Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I would up your protein to 100 grms a day and make sure you are getting your water in at least 10 cups a day. Change up your exercise and stay off the scale for a couple of weeks. You will be surprised when you do step on it. Over the course of weight loss I have had two times when I stalled out for 6 weeks at a time. I went down to weighing myself onces a month and trusting that if I did everything I was supposed to the scale had no choice but to move. 207 lbs later the scale moved.

Make sure your Dr is very thorough when explaining your medical issues. My hubby got approved once for 2 years but this year when he reapplied he was refused and he had to send in an appeal. If approved it will probably be for a certain time period and then you must reapply. We luckily only have had to apply once for our son as his disabilities are life long but I am wondering now that he is an adult if he will have to apply again.
Try changing your workout routine. Add something new or change the time when you workout.
Also you might want to eat some foods that are more metabolic to digest. (can't think of them right now but i know they exist) Are you getting enough rest? Drinking enough water?
Let us know what works.
If you are applying for the Canada Disability Pension, there is a portion that your doctor needs to fill out. The rest is your's to do.
