Hi There....I am new to this site...even though my sister is a member and has had the surgery.  I am so happy for her and I can tell you that next year this time you will be a very healthy person.  It has done wonders for her.  Not just the losing of the weight but also what it has done for her other health problems.  I can't say that I have suffered as she did, but I am starting to feel the burden of carrying this weight around.  If you are from Newfoundland, are you doing this through your general practitioner?...meaning, is mcp covering the cost of surgery?. i would love to look seriously into it, but I honestly have no idea of how to begin.  If you could give me any information, I would appreciate it.  If anyone on this site can in anyway help me, I would be more than greatful.  Good luck with your surgery and do everything, exactly, that they ask of you.  I love my sister and to see her so healthy is a joy.

Hi,
I was just at the orientation for Dr. Pace last Saturday. I had been referred to NB two years ago but got told they were no longer taking patients, but then my clinic referred me to Dr. Pace. I mentioned this to Raleen the nurse practitioner, and she said if I can get a copy of that referral to the doctor in NB she will take that into account when deciding the order. Also she said at the meeting that they are doing everyone in order of referral now (more or less), so size shouldn't make a difference now. So definitely talk to your doctor about getting a copy of that referral and talk to Raleen about it, she will probably get you in sometime this year!

 thanks for this post! I have been having issues with it too. now it is done and I got a nice picture up! yay!
