Reviving the List
I used to maintain a list of waiters & those sitting on the loser's bench. I thought I had a more recent List but this is the most recent one I could find. It is at least a year out of date. BTW I have 184 pages of posts here- i have been here too long!!
Send me the updates, i will change what I can remember.....

Just looking at some of the names on the list and wondering about so many of them - how they have done since surgery - like Bionic Jay - and saw Keltic Princess' name there - we keep in touch - our surgery dates were the same and we met at our one month post-op appts - so many of us meet in that darn waiting room - Jacqueline Mac and I met there too - anyhow - Keltic Princess is doing well - they were posted out west in the Winnepeg area for 3 yrs - now back in Borden Ontario I think she said. So she is doing great. And of course my wonderful friend KC - Krista - of the bandsters club - we met at our pre-op education session oh so many years ago - still dear friends and I expect always will be. We see each other at least every year! Wondering how all the other folks are?!
hi i`m jacquelinemac i had a band in 2007 but due to alot of problems i had the band removed and i waited almost a year an in oct19 2010 i had a gastric sleeve weight is coming off slowly i had gained alot of weight after the band was removed i have another 7 pounds to lose before i`m back to were i was before the band was removed i still have alot to lose still have a few issues with eating but no were near what i had with the band i`m now starting to to see that theres hope for this surgery i had lost hope that surgery weight lose was my answer but its working its slow but its coming off just have to be patience jacqueline
PS - Jacqueline Mac was originally a bandster in 2007 - we met in 2009 - a month after I had surgery for a Petersens Hernia - again we met in Dr. B's waiting room. She had terrible trouble with I think what ended up to be an infected band - and was revised to an RNY in 2009 - I'm pretty sure - hope I'm not betraying any confidences here. Haven't heard from her in a while though. She may post on the NS board - I'm not sure - as she lives in Stellarton.
Sunnie41 - if you don't mind me asking - why has your wait been 7 yrs? Is that 7 years from when your first consult was sent? Have you had your first appt with Dr. S.? If you prefer not to answer - no problem. Maybe there are many other issues involved in your process that we aren't aware of. Just seems like an extraordinarily long time to me. I waitied 3 years - and that seemed like forever to me. I know the waits have increased. My consult to Br. B. was sent in June of 2005. I had my surgery in 2008. If my math is correct - your consult was first sent in 2004? Something doesn't seem right - or fair! Take care.
i have been on the list that long. i have not met with the dr as of yet. but was told (by his secretary) that it will be this fall. i was off the list for a bit due to finances but was put back on a bit later. so that is why it has been so long. i shake my head to know that if i hadnt had a bump in the road a couple years ago, it would be over and i would be living life... but no use crying over spilt milk lol. i just pray that they dont take coverage away for WLS now
