Yes Mandy you can do that. It is what I am working on. I have kept Raleen in the loop as I lowered my BMI from 52.7 to a 46.7 now... Go for it and we are here to support you!

I also discovered yesterday that I can comfortably fit in those little metal chairs with arms that they have in waiting rooms and I can also comfortably fit in the smaller seats in our staduim (which is the majority of them). This is great because I spend a lot of time in the stadium with 2 kids and a husband in hockey. I have accomplished one of my main goals from this surgery. It fees sooo good!

Topic: NSV

I went to the Arts and Culture Centre last night to see Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers and I ACTUALLY FIT IN THE SEAT!!! I didn't have to squeeze in uncomfortably, I actually fit. A word of advise though, I would recommend waiting the full six weeks after surgery before going to see them. I'm just over 4 weeks out now. I nearly literally split my sides laughing and my big cut was really hurting at the end of the night. What a show.

Hi Amanda: It all depends on your BMI. If it's over 50. you have a bit
of a wait. Dr. P is doing lowers BMI right now.

I would also suspect that Raleen, the nurse practioner, will be in touch in the near future. She has been trying to ouch base with new referrals as fast as she is able.

Hi Amanda,

The link above takes you to my blog post that describes the process as I understand it. I am still waiting for surgery too! I am using my time to try to lose some weight before surgery- the lower your BMI the lower the risk.

Let us know if you have any more questions - all of us are happy to help! Welcome to the boards!!!
