I did three weeks, and lost 30lbs (also started at 363lbs), I think the first 15lbs were during the first week.

What are Medicard's interest rates? I'm assume it would be based on your credit score. I'm sure someone with a 750 credit score is paying less than someone with a 680.

What surgeries did you get covered? Also, if you get a surgery covered by OHIP (say a panni) and you play to get other surgeries paid for out of pocket, can the anesthesia (which I assume will be more since you'll out of it longer due to having other procedures) and other fees covered by OHIP?

Hey Jess,

I just had my surgeon appointment on November 7 in Hamilton and right after my appointment I was instructed to go to the booking desk because I had no more tests to complete. When I went there she gave me all my pre-op stuff and told me she would call me with my surgery date in about a month. She said she's looking at surgery end of December, beginning of January.

Hope this helps, and good luck on your journey!

Hey everyone! I've been on this board since about January and I finally get my meet the surgeon appointment on December 12th and I still have the second round blood work and post op nutrition class to go. Anyone recently had surgery in Hamilton know how long the wait between meet the surgeon and actual surgery?

thanks!

I've had my winter boots for like 15 years. The past couple of years I've looked for a new pair but could never find ones that fit just right (I have wide feet, and a lot of the boots were kind of tight on my lower legs). I just had surgery in Sept, so I'm hoping by next season I can buy a nice pair!
