I'm just starting this journey

Jul 17, 2010

In late March, i finally got a referral from one of the doctor's in my family health team, for wls. (My primary care doctor has refused to refer me, for years now. I went behind his back, and got the referral from another doc in the same office)

So, as of early April, the referral's been sent, and now i'm on the waiting list. I just called Humber River Regional Hospital, and they tell me that my referral has gone to a central office, with the ministry of health, and there is no way to track where i am on the list. That's frustrating. But i knew i was in for a wait.

I've only told a couple of people that i'm doing this, a close friend, and another girl who's had this done. My two daughters know, but not my husband. I don't know how he'll react, i don't know if he'll be supportive, and i can't deal with that right now.

I'd love to talk with people who are in the same position as me.
