 I'm posting from my iPhone, so I'll keep this short & sweet. I'm having a great day! I met with Jairo the social worker this morning and he was so pleased with my answers to his questions that he said he wanted to make me his poster girl for WLS! He said I really made his morning, and I thought to myself....no, you really made MY morning! 

Then I got smart & asked the ladies if they had any surgical cancellations, just in case they could squeeze me in so I don't have to drive back down here in 2 weeks for my next appointment...and I got lucky and they are squeezing me in!

But best of all, was the fact I got to meet two OH'ers!Smudges just had her surgery and is doing SO well! And I also got to meet Monica, the wonderfully funny & smiley lady who I could sat around drinking coffee & chatting with all afternoon!

I tell you friends, if you ever get the chance to meet people from this site, Do it! You won't regret it! I always enjoy  meeting the amazing people that make up this Ontario forum! You folks are the best!

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

It was great meeting with both Monica and you today Toni. Thanks for all of the Advice you gave. I am sitting back comfortably at my hotel tonight and not stressing out. I hope your Surgeons appointment went well, at least now you could transfer to Sudbury.
