UNTIL today :(... been having cravings all day... not hunger but cravings... hopes it goes away... im determined to stick with this diet!! Went today for my blood works, hopefully everythings A ok... So far this week ive lost 8lbs :D
Stay Positive :) i know i even started to think they lost my file lol... i did the apnea test (the one u take home) in august, the y told me if it was severe they would call for me to see a specialist, if i did have it but wasnt severe then i would be put on a waiting list and if i didnt have anything thats where it stayed, like 3 weeks later i got a call saying i needed to see a specialist, when i went he said i prob had apnea but i needed to do a sleep study (one night at hosp).. i went then the next day i got my results which indicated that I didnt really need the CPAP machine :D and on then about 4 weeks later i got my date... hope this helps :)
Woot wooot. Congrats. :-). Am very happy for you.
Reading your post really made me feel better. I have also been waiting for a little over three years. I was called in September for the dietician course and am now waiting again for a sleep apnea test. Apparently the lung dept is very busy and i have to wait for an available machine. Just the fact that my file was being worked on brought my hopes up. They were a little down but reading your post gave me a boost. I am hoping that once i have the sleep apnea test. It will go quickly. Will stay positive.
Will be thinking of you on the 9th. Keep us posted on how the liquid diet goes. I am probably in for four weeks too. But hey am reaaaddyyyy. :-)
All the best!!!!! You'll be sooooooo happy!

grats! I think the pre-op testing is only good for a month ... so you'll likely be getting booked for those soon.
Ive been Smiling like crazy since wednesday when I finally got the call with the date!! after 3 years 3 months waiting..... Dec 9th at Rockland Center :D.... weird thing is ive havnt got my blood exams done yet? lol... now im waititng for a call from the clinic becaise i dont even know how many weeks im doing on the liquide diete.... but im soooo happy had to share :D
I glad you mentioned portions you eat, justpete. I was curious about that, as well.
Thanks for the info. Given what you've told me I think I'm going to give them a few more weeks before I call them. I don't want to come off as a pest to them. My secret hope is that I get to go to the Lachine hospital. For one, i grew up there and for another, I honestly think I fear the idea of having to drive downtown to the Vic as being more frightening than the idea of an operation. I HATE driving downtown.
