Hey everyone! 

Just saw social worker and it went great. Worried for nothing. I am scheduled to see an RN,  dietician and physiotherapist as well in April.  Not sure why I'd have to see a physiotherapist?  I am overweight obviously but don't have any issues walking. Amy ideas or anyone been to see one?

I have not heard of a physio appt. before. Sure it is not a psychologist?

Are you sure they didn't say psychotherapist?  Normally you see some kind of therapist/behaviorist around the same time as you see the dietician.  Double check - I've never heard of anyone having to see physio before.

No.. absolutely sure is physiotherapist.  Looking at the sheet in front of me.

Just looked at 5 he back of my sheet "assesses level of physical activity. Will provide strategies to improve levels of functioning." This is kinda strange, because I walked the quebec city this summer, an average of 10-14 kms a day...and I have to go for assessment?  I'm only 4 points over the requirements?!!!

I had my surgery in Toronto but pre op appointments in Windsor. We all had to have a physiotherapist appointment just before we were done. It was very simple....a few exercises just to see how are fitness levels were and how we would cope post op. She made me walk down the hall. Once she signed off...I was off for surgery. 

Good luck!

I also went through Windsor and saw a few people doing the hall thing... Although I was never asked to do that.

Where are you going through for your surgery? Best of luck! Physio probably to determine your physical ability and how it will improve once you have the procedure done? 

Just a girl trying to become a better ME. Healthier ME. Learning to be happy with ME and love ME. One day at a time.
