  1. Kelly Ann Smith

    Too new

    Hi folks, My name is Kelly and I am so glad to find this site with all info I need. I've been obese all my life, but hey, isn't that everyone's story who is here. I've asked my doctor months in a row for a request to be put in for a gastric bypass. He finally had his receptionist put one in to a doctor in a different city and was told each time I asked that there is a five year waiting list. It's no longer about vanity, it's about being able to continue to walk and continue work for the next 10 -17yrs. I have no idea as to when I'll hear from Dr. Marc Savoie in Bathurst N.B. and I know it will come down to his decission as to if I get this proceedure done. I've never been to Bathurst and am nervous as to actually getting there and where I will have to stay. Will I need someone to drive me home after I'm released from the hospital or will they let me drive the 5hr trip alone? As far as I know this surgery will be covered under medicare.....Thank God. I know my body will be a mess after the weight loss, but it's a mess now. Medicare will not cover cosmetic surgery on the extra skin that will be hanging. But I am SOOOO looking forward to being LIGHT!!!! Folks don't know what it's like carrying an extra 100lbs around everywhere. This is the beginning. The beginning of the wait. hee hee Thanks for listening everyone!
