Topic: new to the london group
Hi, my name is Stephie.. i am from London, been here my whole life... i started to have most of my health probs 3 years ago and they have gotten worse... lots of weight gain included.. i got diagnosed with sleep apnea i have a cpap machine now, have type two diabetes, pcos, ibs, and recently i was tested for cushings but haven't heard back from that... i started to think about wls in early 2009, i talked to my doctor and he sent a referral on Feb 03, 2010 to the Hamilton clinic i also think that VSG is best for me and I'm hoping to get that done at the Hamilton clinic.. i heard Dr. Hong is there and he does the VSG... i haven't hear anything back a second referral was sent April 22 2010 and still haven't heard anything... I'm trying to be patient but its very hard I've heard different things,,, 3-5 month wait, 8-10 month waits etc... its very hard...

Topic: Thank you Jana
I just wanted to say "thank you "Jana for all your hard work. I did not say it today , but I am very grateful for this group and the people who come and make it happen!
I did some thinking about the "food addiction" that was mentioned at the intro and really feel I am on the same boat as the girl who brought it up. I do not remember her name but she moved me to say that I am also on her wave length. I think there might be lots of people who feel the same. I think you were correct in saying we all think it...have it ...just don't bring it up. Thanks for bringing it up it sure made me think! Also you did a great job in the weight loss and totally deserve to represent the clinic that asked you to do that! It is amazing how well you have done!!! I could only hope to be as successful as you~!!!!!
I have not had my surgery yet but look forward to the group and support till that day!
Thanks again Jana for a great meeting and all who attended!

Topic: newby
I posted on a few sites..my nic may be familar..
Anyways, my name is sue and I am interetsed in info about gastric bypass or other weight loss surgeries.
Last year my doctor said she would support me on the decision ..unfortunatly she discharged me shortly afterwards..so now I still want info but do not have a doctor to help me.
So findiong a doctor is nearly impossible..and finding a doctor who accepting of bariatric surgery seems to be impossible.
I would love any suggestions...
