Im just worried that some how i'll be denyed..
my doctor put my referral in 3 weeks ago to Guelph General,  Is there any way i could be denied?

my guess would be yes but that is just my opinion 

A good candidate, yes.  Why, how old are you and is that what's concerning you about your referral?

 im turning 20 this year,
and yeah thats mostly concerning me.
but i'm really mature for my age, and i understand that its not going to be easy. 

You're the same age as my son :)

There is another poster on this board, Kayla, who I had the GREAT pleasure of meeting in person last week - she's 21 and had surgery at least 6 months ago.  May be a good person to hook up with through email.  ALSO - if I'm not mistaken, she goes to the Cambridge coffee nights - so you could meet her in person, even better!

Hi Karen,
I think you mean Katie? 

M.

Crap, did I get her name wrong?? How rude of me! LOL!
I'm off to check the member list. Sheesh.

ETA:  HA!  I was RIGHT!

I stand corrected.  However, Katie is another young person who had RNY with Dr. Pop in Michigan.

Hahahaha, Katie and Kayla are both young and I think they both go to the Cambridge meeting LOL

Have a great day

Did your Dr. put your referral into Guelph General directly or the Bariatric Registry?
