first info session

I got my date for the information session yesterday -April 24th!   I'm so excited to begin this process. Does anyone have any tips or info on the testing process? 

You will really get a lot of that information at the info session however you can ask your family doctor for a referral for a sleep study. Sometimes they take a while to arrange to suit your schedule (unless you already have had one done, then you will need a copy of the results for the clinic). 

I don't know that all clinics want the exact same tests ahead of time but they will tell you what blood work you need and other things like abdominal ultrasound etc.

Best of luck on your weight loss journey. You've got a good start just being on this forum! Kim

Welcome to the boards.  There is anything you can think of here, the search botton will become a "go to" tool.

Relax and enjoy the information session...and be patient with yourself on this life changing journey...you are going to learn alot about yourself. 

Try to stop some of your vices ahead of time. Do you smoke, drink, or drink caffeine? Try to quit or limit those. Get a sleep test - I've seen people get delayed because of this, so having it done ahead of time may help smooth out your process. Good luck! It'll be over before you know it - I still can't believe it's been over a year since my journey started!

I just got my information session date to, I  go April 24th as well. 

Very cool, I'm going to humber River, you? 

I'm set for Humber River as well!

That is great that someone else on here is going to  the same place, same date.

Very cool  :-) did you have to wait long for the referral? 

My referral went in beginning of February, 4th. How about you?

I am looking at getting a sleep apnea test referral now, so I could atleast get that out of the way. My dad sleeps with an apnea machine, so i would more than likely need that forsure. 

Mine was around the same time too. I'm going to do the same, at least we don't have to pay for the test.
