Its been a bit I see since I last posted. I hadn't even realised that it's been that long. Since then l am going to post my update regarding my experience at Wharton and my thoughts on surgery. I originally posted by the look of it in 2017 (which i lost my info so i had to make a new profile) Ever since the last posting I have been to the Toronto location a few times now which in my opinion was a waste. For the past month and a half I've been ill which nobody seems to know why so my husband called them to let them know that and rebook my appointment. Well, it seems that was the worst thing to do because they got snobby about it but didn't give me a new appointment date. When I first went to Wharton I honestly expected a little understanding maybe but thought for sure they'd help me in a professional manner. I filled out the paperwork, was seen by i imagine the educator (or one of many) which after she took my height and my weight I was brought into a room to look at a brief video. I've never met Dr Wharton himself. The educator and some other woman berated me about my weight, at least that's the way it felt then went on to tell me about writing down how much I eat and when. Then she proceeded to tell me about 2 different injections that would allegedly help me to lose weight. My whole appointment was maybe 30 minutes maximum and the only thing really that they done successfully was send me out the door in tears feeling like I was a hopeless slob. I hated it more than anything I've ever experienced. See truthfully I'm not lazy (as they made me feel) I try to walk as much as I can but due to my DDD and Scoliosis I can only go so far before the pain near knocks me down. Im not saying I was like model thin but I was kind of an ok weight as I weighed around 180- 185 lbs prior to having my youngest son. I seemed to gain alot during my pregnancy for some reason and after he was born I just seemed to be gaining more instead of losing. My eating habits I know are not perfect as I rarely eat breakfast (maybe a couple times a month) since I've never really been a breakfast person. I'm not one for eating lunch and I mainly just worry about dinner. But i dont eat continuously or anything. I thought they were like a faster route for me to get surgery but I was wrong. Yes surgery scares me because I was told there is a chance of dying but right now I am desperate. My self esteem is low due to the way I look. Thank goodness though Humber River is coming through so I think I'm going to go with it rather than be "emotionally abused" at Wharton.

Thank you! I was told today they are still booking November! I will try calling again in a few weeks.

Love Thai and Indian food, but I have had some pretty hot dishes from our local Indian restaurant. It made my eyes water, but it tasted good.

Your comfy bed is waiting for you, lol.

Maybe you could have your family doctor touch base with them and get more details. Family doctors need to fill out the request for them to consider you. Maybe you need to go over that form with your family doctor.

Good morning :)

I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again... There are six adults, four dogs, and one baby here... It's very busy. I don't know what we are doing today but we are picking up dinner tonight to thank my parents for letting us stay here. My dad had knee surgery last week so it isn't easy for him to get out and about yet.

QOTD: I'm a solid medium lol. I prefer a mild or sweet sauce (bad meggles), so I don't usually order wings these days. I like Thai and Indian food when it's more flavorful than hot.
