CanMacDaddy 0 Posted March 9, 2007 I will be joing the banded ranks on March 27th... SWLC My family is supportive especially daughters (3&5 yrs olds) Plus as an added bonus I got tickets to Peguins vs Leafs... Crosby better sign my jersey as we are from same home town. If he does I will hang it on the wall as won't be fitting me much longer. Thanks to all for posts as finally made me pony up the $16 k after 2 years of thinking about it.

Gaffer 1 Posted March 10, 2007 Don't forget to submit you claim to AB health care. You should get about $1000 back. It is not much but it is enough to a new Flames jersey once you lose the weight :biggrin1: Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canuckswan 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Good for you! What better to invest in than yourself! I'm almost six months post-op with Cobourn, and I've lost 48 lbs! The time goes by quickly whether you are doing something about your weight or not; so you might as well start enjoying them to the fullest. I have lots of years ahead of me to pay off my line of credit for my surgery, but that's okay because I'm finally living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

argon 3 Posted March 11, 2007 Congrats CanMacDaddy! How'd you get such a quick date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanMacDaddy 0 Posted March 12, 2007 The clinic just happened to have an opening that coincided with business I had in Toronto. Luck of timing I guess. In consultation with TLBC they were booking for April 2nd so it would have been a fairly quick date as well ie: 1 mth after consult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted March 12, 2007 That is lucky... congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 1 Posted March 12, 2007 That is really quick. I think that is a better way to go since you have less time to get worked up, plus if you can tie it in with business in TO that is a bonus. Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doddie63 6 Posted March 12, 2007 I think operations can be scheduled within four weeks. At least that was what I was told when I called and asked how long would I have to wait. I had the consult date just before Christmas and made my decision at the end of the year. Had my date Feb. 01/07. I could have had a date in January, but I was afraid of the TO weather. Seems I got my band before the cold winter blast came. No question the less waiting time the better. Doddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 1 Posted March 12, 2007 I know when I booked with Dr. C, I had to wait about 8 weeks, and they might be booking even longer now because they are getting busier. Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted March 12, 2007 Same here (8 weeks), and that was a year ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted March 13, 2007 I think I only had to wait 6 weeks, and that was long enough. Congrats on your surgery date. Let us know if you get Crosby's signature. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
