I went for my pre-op class Dec 3 and met with the surgeon Dec 18. I got the call to schedule surgery this morning Jan 22. I can't believe the time is almost here. Only 5 wks 6 days to go! ???? not that I'm counting or anything. ????????????????

So I got my surgery date this morning!!! March 3 is the day my new life starts!!! So excited!!!!

@@Tintin That is great news! Its an exciting time for sure! Almost there! Yay!!!!

Talk to your doctor. They say you are usually off for 1 month, but depending how you feel, you may be able to go back sooner, seeing as you have a desk job. I would take the time anyway. You health is very important. If you don't have your health you don't have much. Maybe see if you can work from home?

They always tell you that the wait times are getting better, but they really don't. Always expect longer than they tell you.

Good luck! A whole new chapter of your life is about to start! It will be a journey, but one well worth it!

hi! I am from Ottawa too!! I just saw the surgeon on Thursday and am waiting for them to call me with my date. The process has taken almost 2 years. Thee surgeon said i can expect my surgery in the next 2 to 4 months. I have all my vitamins, protein, and everything I need post-surgery in place. I can't wait. My hubby had it done over 2 yrs ago, and is down about 130lbs.

My husband had the surgery about 2yrs ago. Throughout the process I had a ton of concerns, and was admittedly surgery. I loved him the way he was and felt he could do it be himself. Of course I supported him once he went thru with the surgery 100%. 2.5 yrs later he is down 130 lbs and feeling great. Food is still a challenge for him some days. Because of his success ( and he had complication...infections), I an going thru the process myself for the surgery. I am looking forward to the surgery to use it as a tool to improve many health concerns. Take it from me, when your family sees how you do and how much happier you are, they WILL support your decision.
