BMI verification

Hello everyone,

I have my orientation @Toronto western hospital on Dec 13th. Do they weigh you again to verify your BMI?

Thank you in advance!

I am going through Hamilton and they did not. Orientation is more just a educational meeting.

Congratulations and good luck!

Thank you Penny.

Just want to clarify.. So this means they never weigh you at point to claculate your BMI?

I am afraid only becuase I am on the borderline BMI

I was weight in Hamilton during my Surgical Nurse appointment, my nutritionist appointment and my pre-op appointment.

Not during any of the orientations. You will have several appointments and they will weight you at one point but not during orientations.

I hope that cleared that up and this is based on the St Joes in Hamilton. I am sure others will join the conversation as well.

Thanks Penny!

NP is what counts.....good luck!

Hi Ms. COFEE

what is NP?

no, they do not weigh you at orientation. I also went through TWH and was concerned as I was also borderline BMI approved and I asked a few times along the journey and the staff at TWH always told me the same thing "approval is based on referral BMI, it doesn't disqualify you if you lose weight along the way".

So, no worries. GOOD LUCK with your journey!

This is great news, thanks a lot :)

What did get, sleeve or by pass?
