I dont see many Canadians here. Anyone from Ontario? Windsor area?.

Success! My social worker meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday instead of being at the end of the month. That's a very nice improvement. Thanks cab127.

The staff person I spoke to was really nice and helpful. She asked about my other appointments too. The nurse meeting only moved up one month but she said to call back each week and keep checking.

@@brinasl How did you reschedule your appointments? I had orientation in September then I have an appointment with the social worker at the end of this month and then I meet the nutritionist in February. That's 5 months just to get to the nutritionist! How would you speed that up? With a BMI of 35 I'd love to get this moving in case I drop below the threshold.

Keep calling ......there are always cancellations ....keep calling to rebook and /or double up!!!!

@brinasi

Please do keep calling. Things change all the time

Glad my advice worked out for you.

Still waiting to hear back from nut about my next appointment

@@cab127 I'm sure it will soon. You have the midas touch!

@@brinasl Oh yes, I must remember to ask about doubling up when possible. Good reminder.

In order to get my appointments rescheduled I called every other day and inquired about cancellations. Luckily I got in and even went twice in one week. I know they can also try to schedule two appointments on one day if there is an opening

I'm waiting to hear abt my orientation appointment. Would it be an appointment that I can check for cancelations or is what you're talking about more for the appointments after orientation? And thks for the advice.

Where did you have the sleeve done? How has your healing been? All good- I hope. Did ohip cover it and if so what was your wait time from the dr referral to the Bariatric centre to the surgery? Sorry to inundate you with questions- it's just rare that I find someone from Ontario!

I got a new phone.....forgot my password....lost all our conversations. ..I'm back...lol

Haha it's all good. How are you? Things going well I hope.

Everything is good....no complaints????????????????????

I am from Windsor. I had my surgery in Michigan and paid out of pocket. I am 11 days post op and having lots of nausea and heartburn. Just started on meds to help with this. Also, having difficulty getting my required protein and fluids in. Improving little by little.

Congrats on the surgery. Hoping you start feeling better soon. I didn't know you could have the surgery across the border, good for you. Hope the healing gets better.

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

Congrats!!!!
