Oh I forgot to mention . Have you been on the NS Capital Health website? There's tons of information about the surgery and the stages of diets pre and post surgery.

Just wondering if anyone knows why one would be rejected for surgery. My referral was made on the 16th of November, what is the estiated time to get called for the group session? I am excited and anxious at the same time...I know, I have a long wait, just anticipating that I can get the surgery is sooo exciting for me. It's been a life long battle with this weight, I really have y hopes set on this surgery!!!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year!

I was just confused by Angie liking Subway but now that I know she gets salad, I understand.  I have never had the salad at Subway.  I prefer the ones at Sobeys. 
I work in Bedford so Petes is convienent but expensive so it is only a once in a while treat. 

I was wondering if any of you took in a letter/note to your work stating how long you would be off work for? I asked my boss and she said even a verbal call would do the trick just so she knows for sure how long i will be off. (which will be five weeks) I was wondering who i would go to for that, as in who would i get to call or write a letter? Diana? Dr Ellesmere? Also my work knows NOTHING about it being weight loss surgery so whoever writes the letter or calls must not tell them. One last thing did anyone take their binder to their pre-op appointment?
