Pest

 Sorry to be a pest guys, but now I want to know if you can give me a rough idea (based on your experiences), how long you normally have to wait to have the surgery after the clinic info session?  After that info session do they start bringing people back and booking surgery dates?
Thanks a bunch guys!!  Still happy as ever to even be attending the next session June 15th!!!!

hi, When I went to my info session on mar. 1st. 2010 they told us not to expect any word from them for 6 months. In May we were sent a big questioner to do and send back. I than waited until Oct. before I got my appointment with the "team" where I was given the news that I was getting the surgery. Then I met with Dr. Ellesmere around two weeks later. And I got my date for surgery than. Dec. 7th. When I went for my pre op date the end of Nov. I got to the very end of my time with them and was told I couldn't get the surgery until my blood loss was found. So needless to say I just last week finally got to see a hematologist here in Sydney, (cos we don't have one on the island) He said all the tests I had showed nothing wrong and the only thing he thought it could have been was bleeding ulcers, which I was not aware of. So anyway I called Diane today and she got the report from him saying he highly recommend me for the surgery. So now she said she will see him tomorrow and give me a call with a date. Yipeee. Anyway that is what happened to me. I do rattle on don't I? lol sorry about that. Hope this helped.and congrats on getting into the June session.

I went to the March session of last year and was told not to expect any call for six months. In that six months i had 10 lbs to lose. Well stupid me didnt do it. So then i had one more chance, i had to lose 20 lbs in two months. So in December i went back losing 24 lbs. I saw Ellsmere before Christmas and had surgery January 6 2011.

I was exactly one year from info session to surgery.

 Awesome ladies thank you!!!
