I have completed all the steps necessary to go forward with surgery. I am waiting to meet with the surgeon now and then my surgery will be booked. I live in Canada and the wait for surgery is very long. It has been 14 months since I went to orientation to get this process started. Finally, in January they called and I have seen the social worker, nurse, internal medicine doctor and nutritionist. All my testing is done and I am approved to go forward.......the wait is driving my crazy. I wish that they would just call and give my appt so at least i know what I am waiting for.
I would appreciate any tips or advise about preparing for the surgery and I enjoy reading how people manage after their surgeries to get me ready to manage my adventure.
