I appreciate all your feedback and I totally want the sleeve nothing else. I havent had the chance to speak to the surgeon directly yet but this was the info that I just got from his office and it is making me really nervous. The issue is that in Ontario we can not go directly to a hospital or surgeon of our choice we have to be refered through our family doctor into a barriatric registery and then they choose the doctor that is closest to your area and that's who you get. I would rather just go to Mexico where I can get the doctor of my choice but I am not ablt to financially so that so here I sit waiting and hoping that it all works out.
