I'm a magnet

And not a good one!  I swear the closer I get to surgery the farther away it gets!  I spent part of yesterday working on getting my last test scheduled (in another hospital, in another town, where the wait times are faster) so that it would be done in time for my appointment with the surgeon.  Yay right!?!  Not so, I got home from work to find a message that they have postponed my surgeon's appointment for another 3 weeks.  I'm getting so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!

Awww Thats awful, Dont get so down, I would be very frustrated too but then I would think to myself it gives me 3 more weeks to prepare myself.
Best of luck!

Thanks.  I've been preparing myself for 16 months now!! Lol!!  I'm so ready already!  This 3 week delay now means surgery won't be until at least August.

I know how you feel.  I see posts from people moving ahead and it seems I'm taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back.  I know my time will come but it's still so frustrating!!!!   I had to take a deep breath yesterday and remind myself that my LAST surgeon appt is only 1 week away. 

So...I'll give you the advice I gave myself yesterday....DEEP BREATH IN....DEEP BREATH OUT. 

I had thought with the new registry, things would be done more fairly and in better order, but it sure isn't looking that way.

I really wi**** was as simple as - you want the surgery, you qualify by BMI and your doc refers you to a surgeon and that's that.   Im starting to wonder WHY this process is so long and complex.  

I think it so long to see who actually sits it out. If you want it bad enough and covered by OHIP you will sit it out. Plus they have to make sure you are able to handle the surgery. Some people do this for the wrong reason and they want to be able to weed those people out.

Oh man!  I truly feel bad for you ... my surgery is far behind me, but I recall how frustrated and anxious I was during the process (and by today's standards, my wait time was miniscule).  I'm not going to tell you that everything happens for a reason etc, etc. because I know how it feels to be where you are. 

Instead....
