Unfortunately after 5 yrs your file is closed and you need a new referral. first I would ask family doc for a gastroscopy to check out your pouch. If pouch is good then ask for a referral to a dietician to review intake and vitamins. As you wait to get back into to see your surgeon this will help you to progress faster. They will want to see that you have gone back to basis etc..

Hey guys!
just wondering once all appointments are done how long is it normally until surgery?
I have the internist at the beginning of April and then I meet with Kline again to get my date, if all goes well.
Simple problem here.Called Humber. Explained I have had surgery 9 years ago. Need assistance to start an opti fast program as I've gained 49 pounds of my 130 lost pounds.
She laughed at me.
said I have to get a referral from my family doctor
go through a 12 week program
being monitored and attending "classes"
but it's 6-8 month wait list for that!!!!
she snickered when she said that. I then replied I can't wait that long, I'll gain too much, so she said sorry and hung up
SO MUCH FOR FOLLOW UP AND CARING
You would need to get another referral from your GP to the Bariatric registry to restart the process.
Another option would be to request from your GP for a gastroscopy to check out your pouch.
You should start a food journal to track intake and look at what bad habits has snuck in. May be ask GP for referral to a Dietician to review intake. Often it is the snacking and eating wrong that leads into weight gain. The bad habits slowly sneak back in.
You would have to demonstrate that you have gone back to basics anyways.
