There is a seminar that you get a letter about. When you get the letter that says "congratulations on having been identified as potentially one of the next 50 people to qualify for weight loss surgery (Gastric  Sleeve). Attending this clinic is Step 1 in the process of being considered for surgery."

Than it has the date and time to be there. They ask you to confirm by email if you will be attending and if you are bringing someone with you.(name and relationship)
It is a 2 hour seminar.
([email protected]) is her email, her phone # is 473-2970. I don't know if they ever tell you how far you are on the list.
(I was refered in the fall and got my letter in Jan. for the Mar. 1st session. I hope this helps.)

OK some misunderstanding here. I should have said March 1st of 2010 and the fall of 2009 when I was referred. Sorry about that. I was suppose to have my surgery on Dec. 7th 2010 but it is on hold til I get this blood thing that I am going through fixed. I called Dianne(Dr. Ellsmeres recpitionest) and she assured me as soon as I get the ok she will get me in right away.
