Hi
I am currently on 2 lists for WLS in New Brunsick. My family doctor has recommended that I outsource surgery wait times in other provinces, the US or even Mexico. This really scares me but my BMI is around 72. If you can give me an idea of how long of a wait it is in other provinces etxc I would really appreciate it. I called Medicare in NB and they advised that they will pay for surgery in another province except Quebec but I need to find a doctor, then have my family doctor and the surgeon write a letter to the NB Medicare board to ensure payment would be made. I'm lost at where to start so I thought I know...the great groups on OH can help. I'm even considering going self pay if necessary
Thanks

when will the world learn not to judge..
I had a baby recently and has had the extra weight every since.I am 5ft 1 and right now I weigh 171lbs. Before I was pregnant I was always around 125-130lbs. I can't seem to lose the weight. I've tried all kinds of exercises but they just don't seem to work. It is starting to get frustrating with summer on its way and me feel all "fat" and "gross". Is there any other way to get the weight gone fast, without surgery? I have high blood pressure as a reslt of all the extra weight.
it's great to see some Newfoundlanders here.!!!!! tell us your story.

Another Newfie here!! I'm from Mount Pearl/St. John's but I've been living in the States for 4 years now. Married an Army man.
I can't believe you still can't get this surgery in Newfoundland!!! What a bunch of BS! My Mother desperately needs the surgery and can't take the time off to go to the mainland and get it.
I'm hoping to have my Surgery performed before the fall... and have most of my weight gone by the time I go home again in August of 2010.
