WOW Margo - you have flown through your appointments, your surgery will be here in a flash!!!

I'm hoping to get all my appointments done in a quick manner too. What was your secret??

I'm excited to be going to TWH, glad to meet someone who has "been there, done that" at TWH.

Not much of a secret lol. Just had an open schedule and I called in to check for early appointments via cancelations I think I was just lucky that's all :)

But they are super nice there and if you have an open schedule let them know and they are pretty good about responding with faster appointments :)

read as much as you can, research and research until you are blue in the face. By the time you go to orientation you will know for sure if you want to continue on with this journey or not. Start changing some habits, such as caffeine or pop drinking, if you smoke quit now etc... im sure others will have more tips info. im still early in my journey myself.

i had my appointmets and surgery at TWH. I had a great experience. Think about coming out to the support group they run. It is the first and third Wednesday of the month. There are pre-ops and people further out.

It seems like things move pretty quickly at TWH, I have been considering transferring there but worry if it means I'll have to start all over from scratch. I have even heard some people say that they left the orientation session with appointments in hand. Good-Luck keep us posted. :-)

Congrats on starting your journey! I'm at TWH and I'm still early in the process having just completed my social worker appointment. They staff there has been wonderful. Read all you can and really educate yourself on all things bariatric. The social worker I spoke with said they are looking for that more now.
