I am a disabled nurse who continued to gain weight with several assaults at work. I am unable to exercise effectively because of a back injury therefore am unable to loose the weight I need. It is a nasty circle and I have chosen to go the route of weight loss surgery to change my body and alleviate some of the daily pain I am under. Being in Ontario my surgery is covered under OHIP. My first date is Feb 14, 2006 with the dietician and then with the doctor on March 20, 2006.
I have heard that Dr. Reed in Guelph is a nice guy and his staff are tops, looking forward to meeting him. I have to have my upper GI, abdominal ultra sound and blood work done before I see him in March. I am already under the care of a phsyciatrist for the depression that set in when I was assaulted at work.
Hard to go from a Nurse making $28/hr to an ODSP pension.
Ain't life grand.
Well hopefully soon I will have my surgery, loose the weight and become healthy enough to keep up with my husband and 2 "tweens." God help me here comes puberty.
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
