About me

Apr 20, 2009

Hi Everyone,

my name is Jackie and I have spent a great deal of time and energy staying away from any public forum like this! No twitter, myspace or facebook for me!

But as I begin THIS weight loss journey, I feel that I will need some support to help me to be successful.

I live in Toronto, and I am overwhelmed by; 1. the amount of misleading/ volume of information that is out there! B. the whole process! OMG!! short of jumping through hoops and barking, they only way, it seems to me, to not lose all of my mind is just to pay for the surgery myself rather than go through OHIP. But that option is just available to me at this time. So, Arf!!! Arf!! Wooff!! Wooff!!Here I go!

 Can anyone tell me of the most direct route to get OHIP funding?

I would prefer to have my surgery close to home, but it would seem that hens will grow teeth before that will happen! I am hearing about 2-5 year waiting list! Is this for real?!

Has anyone gone to Montreal to have the surgery? I have recently read that Dr. Christou is receiving OHIP found to do WLS! Has anyone else heard of this? What about Dr. Christou... any info...good, bad or indifferent, would be appreciated!

I hope to hear from anyone soon.

Jackie
