I am in Canada and have gone thru this process twice because I was not ready the first time.

I was on the waiting list to see the doctor and started seeing dr.gregg in jan 2011 but then for some reason I got an overwhelming feeling that I was going to die. I just knew if I went thru with it that would be the end for me. Sooooo I hired a personal trainer, worked with a nutritionist, worked my butt off for months, started running, tried body by vi and here I am a year later back on the waiting list. I would have my sleeve by now if I stuck to it. But I'm glad I gave it my alll one more time so that I could really say I tried! I have learned valuable information over the last year and continued researching the sleeve. All of these things will help me out when its my turn and hopefully I won't have to wait too long!

Process for the 2nd time around.

Nov 24 faxed referral ~didn't go thru, i didn't confirm until the 19th of Dec

Dec 19 resent fax and confirmed went thru

Appointment maker supposed to call within the next 2 weeks (dec 20 to jan 2)
