I got an email back fron Diana today saying I should hear from them in 2011 or 2012!! She said to get my binder together ,study it and try one of the stage diets. I'm anxious to hear what they tell you Susan! Best of luck!

Hmm ... this is an issue with many sides. I am in the category of wanting to keep my surgery choice to myself (I don't even use my own name on here ... and it's pretty safe here, I'd think). I told my Hubs, my mother and my closest friend in the world ... and that was it. My mother then blabbed it all over the place (telling my sisters, her co workers and pretty well every other geesly person she knows ... all the while running some sort of twisted poll on everybody's opinion on MY DECISION!) - I was vicious!

The compliments are nice ... I simply LOVE to hear that folks are noticing that I am losing weight ... the questions, not so much. If it is someone with a weight problem, I will tell them - happily ... if it is a person who is just being a tool, I don't give them anything. It isn't anybody's business, and I have found that many people are incredibly ignorant to this procedure.

I would call Diana Lawlor, that is a long time to not get any response. She might tell you more about where you are on the list. Or send her an email. They take 50 people at a time.

I was wondering if anyone has had a stricture taken care of in Halifax?

look on the new b forum... bet they have all the info there... there is a dr in moncton... good luck
