Topic: RE: Saskatchewan's Bariatric Surgical Assessment Clinic
Hi Danette - My name is Kate. My Dr. just referred me to the program on Sept 7. Can you give me more of an outline of time frames.
How long was it from referral date to call from clinic?
How long from call from clinic to being in the program?
How long is the program?
How long from end of program to surgery?
Any idea how many people get turned down from the clinic?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Kate

Topic: RE: Very bumbed out!!!
Hi All - I am very excited that there is someone on this site that is very current. I just had my Dr. send in a referral to the program today. Now I am so excited, I can't wait. Does anyone know how long I am looking at before getting any surgery done? I am hoping that the surgery will be done in Regina.

Good for you, you must be VERY excited. And to think you can do it in Regina! Good Luck!!!

Sorry I am not going to Mexico. I am having the surgery in Regina. I went through my doctor and he sent my name into the program. I was accepted and started my 6 month assessment. My last assessment was June 23, I go for surgery on September 20.

How did you arrange the thing in Mexico? Do you think I would qualify? I am 195 pounds and 5 foot 4 inches tall. Fat and unhappy in Regina.

I had a consult with my doc. He asked if he could put my name in for the program in Regina. I said sure but never thought I would get in and two months later I had my first assessment. They only did the RNY in Regina. That is how my surgery was decided. Sorry that probably doesn't help you much.

Hi. I am trying to get in here on this message board thing, and find out from somebody where I should be looking for lap band surgery. I live in Regina, Sask. I am 54 years old, weight about 192 pounds, five foot four inches tall, BIG FAT STOMACH. Can't stand it anymore. How did you figure out what to do and where to go? Is it safe? Thank you in advance. How much does it cost?
