Thanks!

Hello All! Well tomorrow is my big day! 3 1/2 yrs of waiting is almost over.
I am very excited and can't wait to have the hospital stay behind me
I don't think that I am too nervous about the surgery, but more about being in the hospital. I guess that's what happens when you work in the field.
I will update as soon as I am home and back on the computer.
Wish I could be at the OWLSS group meeting on Wednesday night, but I'll still be in the hospital so won't be able to make it

 And if you're on facebook, search for OWLSS support group.
It's a private group of people locally who have had, or are waiting for weight loss surgery.

have not seen any updated posts so i hope you are recovering well and that  surgery went well for you.  all the best

Fancy Roses, I understand completely!! I went through the runaround with the NS Department of Health and the WLS clinic.  I thought, well crap, I am 41 and need to do something now before I get more serious issues.  I borrowed money, flew to Toronto the end of June and got surgery.  I am now almost one month post op, struggling with the new eating rules, (ate really bad today) but have lost 26lbs so far.  I am hoping I have the strength to get further towards my goals, and I am trying to work through my MLA to see if there's another way to have surgery done in NS in a timely and cost efficient manner, but they need to have more and more people complain about it - squeaky wheel and all.  It needs to be public and vocal.  This is important to all of us.  I hope you get somewhere soon, and are able to start your journey towards your goals!!!  Thinking of ya!!
