I am not going to complain to my MP, I'll just whine about it, cry about it, but in the end I'll wait, I always do. And living in an apartment does not allow me to "remortgage" a home unless it's yours? LoL. Thanks for the support everyone. Hopefully the new year brings me better luck.

Too bad about not being able to remortgage...I live in a condo and remortgaged with my bank.,..Extended mortgage at blended rate, and since these days mortgages are really low, it was feasible for me over an extra 6 years extended payment........

What reason have they given you for waiting 4 years? I went through Guelph and I waited about 2 years.

That's just it there is no reason. I know part of the delay was my family doctor, but that accounts for about 4 months. *shrugs*

Phoenyx,

I havent had the courage to call and find out through guelph BUT i do know for a fact that the gentlemen in our post op class is seeing the surgeon on January 10th. It boils me over that some people seem to jump a few hoops and others have to wait what feels like an eternity. I was so hopeful that we would be getting a call sooner than later. Heres to waiting and waiting UGH!

Do you think the delay for some has to do with medical reasons? For example, I don't smoke; I don't drink alcohol; I had some comoridities; I am in my 40's so not too old to withstand surgery; my bmi was 44 so I wasn't too heavy for surgery.

Hey I was just wondering if you guys have asked about being referred to another bariatric clinic. I know a couple of the people I talked to were referred to Humber River where the wait time is much better. I was referred in June and had surgery Dec 12th. Some of the people I was with were from owen sound

Funny thing was that way back close to my referrel date July 2011, The guelph hospital called and offered to transfer my file to humber and i said no because i wanted to be close to home, I should have jumped at the chance........UGH!
