Well, today was my doctor appt. I asked my doc to send in the referral for a consultation with the doctor's in Edmonton. I was kind of surprised that my doc didn't know anything about the surgery and as a result I found myself educating her. She said she had one other patient recently asking about surgery but hadn't really checked into it. Oh well... at least she thought it sounded like a good idea for me as a tool to help control portions.

I expect the wait will be at least 1.5 yrs for a consult and possibly longer for surgery. I hope some money falls from heaven in the near future so I can go to Toronto to a private clinic. I haven't given up hope. I'm a true believer that if it is meant to be - it will be.

I'd pay more for it too. I must say, I got abit paraniod when I read the posts about missing the port and possibly putting a hole in the tube. I hadn't even considered this until I read it. However, I'm sure it's one of those far and few in between complications - hopefully!

Thanks for the info Argon!
