I sent Diana an email to see if she received my referral and the approx. wait time was. She told me the wait time EXCEEDS 10 years and to go look at the note on the Capital Healty Obeisty Website. Very discouraged right now!!!
No shocker to me..
They've had my referral, and many others almost every year after with updated medical health deterioration listed -- since..................
March 1999 -- 12 years I would be waiting if I didn't relocate to another province.

OH MY GOD!!! I emailed Diana L at Capital Health WLS clnic and was referred to the info below on Capital Healths web site and called the # Wed and still never got any reply so i just called the # again and the nice woman advised she got my voice mail but have no clue as to why i am calling her dep they do not have access to the WLS filed to see waiting list ect and that she has no way to find out if they have my referral or my newly sent sleep study results. What she did tell me is she forwarded off my info to the director for more input and answers and I will be contacted once they find out more. She said only reason she can see as to why they gave the info below is they want to document to the director that there is an ongoing issue here and it needs to be addressed NOW. I expresed my great concerns of the wait time going from 2 to 4 yrs to 10 yrs and this scares the hell out of me and others and she said she needs more people to call so they can pass this info off to the director so it can be resolved as if no one calls and complaines they dont know of the probles..
The Obesity Network is unable to respond to concerns regarding expected wait times for Weight Loss Surgery. Both Capital Heath and the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness have programs that deal with wait time concerns. Please have patients with wait time questions contact these programs.
