Topic: RE: One Month Already!!!!!
So i have to say..im am so happy that i made this choice... it took me long while to admit this and to truly believe it in my heart..but i do!!!!! and its strong!!!! a month has gone by, and so quickly at that!!! and my life has already changed.....yes i have lossed weight but its so much more then that...i am and was a very confedent person but somhow the confidence is changing...i feel like i did a few years ago when i was in college.....its nuts the change 30lbs can make on one's self! so ya..i cant even think of how im going to feel once it all comes off....and girls let me tell you...flirty!!!for real...i was not like that.heheh well since college!....and now its starting to comeout to play!!! its so funny!!! At work the other night they were making hamburgers and the smell made me feel sick...and that is not normal...burgers were my FAV!!!!!! so little things i am really pickingup on! if there is anyoneout there reconsidering or thinking should i really do this!!!!yes....it was the right thing for me to do..and if you are ready for a huge life style change...then do it!!!! Stacy... i know i just wrote you but i forgot to mention somthing...when you go down and you are in the OR waiting room...and you start to think.....i cant do it....becasue you probably will think what am i doing????? i think that everyone must have thoes thought at that seconed when the surgenes are comming out to take the people in.....just breath and remember that hot dress!!!! Good luck all! kate

Topic: RE: What Does OHIP cover now?
The way to do it so that you dont pay anything out of your pocket...is!!!!! apply for "Prior aproval for Out of country coverege" that is the form name. your Dr eill fill it out and send it to ohip then you wait if you are approved then you are done...you are covered. then you go and meet your Dr. done!!! but with alot more waiting! good luck! kate

Topic: RE: Consult getting closer!
Think and write down all the questions you have...i was told before iwent to do this becasue i would forget once i got there....i was like..."ok what ever" ya,i forgot all of them. but i have a written sheet in my bag! so that helped alot! um dont freak out, on the inside when he goes over the statistics, it will be easy to do. if you dont know the death rate, write me and i will tell you. only becasue if you hear it before, i think you will be able to process it before the apoinment and not stop thinking or hearing anything he says because that is the foucus....in my apoinment i had to struggle with my head to still listen to him, because i did know the death rate before.....um...be honest....ya! it will be great! good luck! kate
