Oh wow you're timeline was so smooth! I'm glad I'm reading how good they were which calms me alot. How was the first meeting with the surgeon? Did you get weighed or measured or have to do any further tests? How are you feeling now since it's been a couple months?thank you so much for the response

Thank you out hahah didn't wanna seem annoying . Okay perfect! I wasn't even required to take a sleep test so I hope he doesn't say now that I need one . It seems thorough and detailed which I like. I hate feeling like I'm lost and don't know every point of the process lol. I feel it's gotten so realong now that my meeting with him is exactly a month away . Now the nerves are setting in haha. Esp cause ive never had a surgery before

Ask anything you like! If I can answer I will. It was via Telehealth again..The surgeon meeting. Nurse setting up the skype took my BP and weight, but he didn't seem too concerned. Trying to recall if he even asked! He did say they tend to go on the weight you were when you began. But dietician no doubt updates the file so it should not be a surprise. He asked if I had questions. Gave me my date. Some general queries as to the operation and that was it. He did ask about my sleep apnea which is very mild and doesn't require treatment and told me to stop taking one of the two diabetes pills I take when starting slimtime

I'm glad you were able to get back to it and that it was benign! I started in January last year but had a few reschedules. I realized I should have chose telehealth when I had the nutrition group meeting and pretty much everyone did it that way. I live in scarborough and bus it there which is about 3 hours round trip lol. But I can say the same I do believe everyone was really great and kind . I have anxiety so I'm always so nervous but it always calms and leaves meeting the people and talking. I wish we had our own caseworker too but even just emailing the dietitian she got back to me the next day which was great. My meeting is with Dr Urbach . Was there any weigh in or more blood work when you met him or did they just use everything from the when you met with the nurse? I was worried he might give me a diet plan to follow (which I do wish the dietitian gave). the Sorry for all the questions lol I don't know anyone going through this so all I have is whatever I read on the internet haha. I'm so excited for you to be almost there ! esp having the minor set back. I wish you all the best love!

I am with TWH! I have my post-op meeting with Dr. Wong next Monday then just a week to go after that! I actually live in Brockville, but began the journey almost 2 years ago when I was still in Toronto. My surgery initially came up in March 2018 but I had a LOT going on in my personal life (lumpectomy - benign thankfully, my mum was really ill (had moved her in with me when I moved to Brockville for that purpose in 2017) - etc so had to put it off - then "restarted" last October. They've been terrific - and I've been able to do a lot of the meetings via Telehealth - a secure type of Skype. the surgeon was super nice and upfront - gave lots of information and seemed genuinely thrilled to give me a date. Overall, I've found them great in the program there. My only ***** is that I believe we should each have a case worker - a "go to" person who has the big picture about our files - other than that I can't complain.
