I can use all the buddies I can get ????. I've heard Dr Jackson is a very good surgeon and he's not bad on the eyes either ????

Hi tristantanople, my surgery date is January 21st. Which surgeon/hospital are you having your surgery at?

Thanks @bigbattynatty. I'm sure everyone probably has the same fears. I'm choosing to ignore them and hope for the best????. How did you do on optifast? I'm dreading that part????

I'm getting nervous and a bit scared but will go through with it (I hope)....

I think I have Dr Cyriac as well. It was supposed to be Dr Aarts but somehow got switched. How has you experience been so far?

How is you're recovery going?

Hi anewme2015, how is your progress so far? My surgery is scheduled for Jan 21st. Getting kind of nervous but also excited to finally start this journey.

I started in March 2014 and will have surgery in January 2015. I'm almost there. Can't wait ????

I do too however it takes a very long time from the time you have decided that you want this until the actual procedure. I think 6 months should be more than enough time to weed out the people that are serious and really want this.

My surgery date is January 21 at TWH.

Thank you Grandma2tweeties! I'm from Ontario. Where are you from and when is your surgery?

Hello everyone. My surgery date is January 21, 2015. Can't wait to start this process.

Thanks. Have you had any appointments yet?

I'm excited but it still seems so far away!

Surgery booked for January 21st. Still 2 months away....what a long process!

I know exactly how you feel. I keep waiting for my life to start????

I know exactly how you feel. I keep waiting for my life to start????

Still waiting on a date and yes I have lots of doubts but not enough not to go through with it...I hope!

So far very easy. You have to have lots of patience which I have none of????.

Hello Briwls, I'm from Acton which is pretty close to Brampton. Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm still going through all of the pre-op appointments. Can't wait for my turn.

I believe my doctor sent in my referral in March and my first appt was in June. It's a very long process...

I have to meet with the nutritionist next Friday and then hopefully they will tell me when I can meet the surgeon. I'm hoping to have the surgery by the end of the year but I think that's wishful thinking.

Hello, I'm not from Hamilton but I'm not too far away. I live in Acton and am hoping to have the bypass this year. What procedure are you thinking of getting done?

The band is not covered. Only the bypass and sometimes the sleeve.

So exciting! Thank you for the info.
