I just got off the phone with the clinic and she is calling for a date at the hospital. I am meeting with Dr. Yau March 15th!!! Most likely mid June or later. It would be hard for me to meet my work commitments if I had it done before then - so again, I will have to be patient. Did you have yours done in hospital?
My dad was overweight most of his life and has had all kinds of diseases - diabetes (me too), High BP(me too) and he has had bypasses etc and now this. Stroke can definitely be a complication of diabetes and I am not ready to succumb!
And yeah - the airplane seat was not so great either!

Hey Mandi! I just got back from White Rock - my dad lives out there and had a mild stroke so I flew out last weekend. That was when I decided I was definitely going to get the band.

Yes Kat - great post and gives me hope because I too am a binge eater. But I hope to be a was a binge eater soon. Thanks to all of you for your replies - I hope more people reply to the best and worst because it keeps us honest.

I agree that it sounds like gallbladder - I have gallstones as well and although mine was nnot attributable to rapid weight loss - that is definitely one of the said effects. Take care and I hope you feel much better soon.
Susan
Thanks for your reply. I don't want to mention any numes publicly - but she did call me at the end of the day - and I was in the washroom!
She said she will call back tomorrow, so again I will wait patiently!
Susan
Waiting for my date. I just decided yesterday and have emailed Nisrine to set it up. I am an insulin dependant diabetic, so I will have to have the procedure done in hospital - therefore the wait time until they can get an
OR suite. Oh well, I have to be a patient patient!
