panniculectomy is 100% covered by OHIP. It's a lot of paperwork so it sounds to me like your doc doesnt want to do the work for you. I'd get another opinion/doctor if yours wont look into it for you. I work as a nurse in a hospital that provides this service and I have NEVER come across a patient who has paid out of pocket. It is your doctors job to look into finding someone to do this for you, it's not your job to look for him/her. I really hope it all works out for you and you are able to get your surgery

11 years out here and some of the same challenges. I already had some osteopenia prior to my RNY so really no surprise and I do take the correct calcium. I had to get iron infusions last year and I have fluctuating issues with hypoglycemia which can be scary. I totally agree that the RNY was worth it! If I could go back in time I would do it sooner!

Dawn,
Huge congratulations to you - it's such a treat to read about your success. I also celebrated 13 years in March , but it's become such a "regular" that I actually forgot all about it at the time. Lol
My very best wishes for your certain continued success!

Good afternoon and happy thanksgiving!!
We went to the grocery store -- all I needed was milk for the little nugget. It was crazy there!! I can't imagine how much worse it will get over the weekend.
I made a veggie chili this week and it came out so yummy. I'm not a cook so I'm always happy when something is good :) we have so many leftovers!!
Tomorrow we are going to my in-laws for dinner. They are slow roasting a chicken/turkey. They raised some chickens this year on the farm.
Post-op four years and seven months.

It's a crazy workday so I'm posting while I have a chance. I happen to be a person who loves fall so the cooler day, trees turning colours and even farmers harvesting in the fields makes me thankful! We have a family reunion for our Thanksgiving so it's kind of a potluck. I'm cooking a turkey, a veggie dish and likely a dessert. Since turkey is one of my favorites, I'll have a good helping so that I'm not as tempted by the various desserts.
QOTD: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food and how do you celebrate?
B - protein shake
S - boiled egg
L - chicken skewers, salad
S - sweet potato crackers, roasted red pepper hummus
D - homemade taco's
S - turkey pepperettes
Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
I found out that part of why I've been waiting so long is that the internist said she wants to see me again (just to check on a chronic issue that has been stable for months) and asked that it be on the same day as I do my surgical consent. She made that request to save me on parking, but because there haven't been any openings for both they haven't booked me.
Ive been calling the internist's office to try to get this figured out since this is essentially holding up my surgery. I've told my work to expect that I'd likely be taking time off by the end of the year which is what the bariatric program has been telling me so I'm really frustrated that something so dumb has been holding things up!
I hope lil nugget feels better soon. It's sooo stressing when our kids are sick.
