Guess its time to reintroduce myself
Hello everyone!
I joined the site in late 2012, shortly after getting my name on the Bariatric list.
Like many of us, I was completely gung ho and read everything I could on this site.
Once I received my Orientation date for Hamilton, I was somewhat deflated. My date was set for over a year later ;( I expected the process to be long, but I thought the wait would come after the information session, not before.
Fortunately, the process has been much quicker since the Orientation. Within 2 months, I have seen the Dietician, the RN, the Social Worker and the Surgeon and have been given the okay to go forward. I was told that I could be looking at late February for the surgery date!
Many lessons have been learned during this journey, but maybe the most important is I will be much more successful with support of others going through this. My friends and family are amazing, but they will never really "get it".
The support I have seen is remarkable on this site, and I hope to give and get just a little of it ;)
Thanks,
CC
