I actually went through this referral process in 2009 and I lost 30 lbs so I did not qualify for the surgery....I also think I was not mentally prepared at the time as well. I since have gained the weight back and hit a personal low. I decided I was ready at that point to go forward and get re-referred. I am so ready for this life change and so greatfull I will have this tool to help my reach my goal of a healthier life. I am getting my surgery done in Hamilton Ontario. I welcome questions and I can use all the support I can get. Here is what has happened so far :
