Vacation is over!
Jul 13, 2008
Okay the vacation is supposed to be over and the doc should be back to work in the morning. My most earnest hope is that the scheduling clerk will be calling me tomorrow with a date for this surgery. I have a friend and a cousin who want to ride with me to Ypsilanti so they can have consults done while I'm in town for the pre-op appt. My cousin has already sent her approval forms to OHIP and I'm crossing my fingers for her too! Next I'll have to make her a member of this forum so she can share as well. Does anyone think it is completely sadistic to be excited about mutilating yourself? I am so excited about the life I am going to live and the freedom of movement I will have after this weight is gone. I say bring on the knife!!!

Dr. Schram is on vacation!!!! I can't get a booking date until he gets back. This is frustrating to me as I want my surgery tomorrow.
WooHoo

10 days flat and I have my approval from OHIP. Thanks to the advice from the Ajax Starbucks group my forms must have been in good shape because it really didn't take that long. . I am so excited but I wish I could just call and get my appointment booked. I wonder if there's a cancellation list? I could be ready tomorrow!!!
Waiting
Jun 30, 2008
Okay is been a whole 4 days since I faxed in my OHIP forms for approval and I am already going crazy. Tomorrow is my consult and I'm so excited I can hardly sleep. Now, my cousin wants to get in on the program and she wants me to wait for my surgery date so that we can go together and have it done. She hasn't started the application process yet so I don't think I'll have the fortitude to wait it out with her. I'll schedule a follow up on her surgery date I think. I just wish I knew exactly how long it takes to get approval back from OHIP. I can't stand the waiting already!!!!

I just gt word that my doctor has finished with my OHIP forms. They'll be faxed to OHIP today. I am so excited I feel nauseated. I met a group of ladies last night who have been through this already and really enjoyed talking to them. It makes me feel so much more secure going into this with all this information.
