Default My surgery is December 4/07

What a blessing to find this site with so much information and contact with people exploring the same weight loss surgery. As listed in my title, my surgery is booked for December 4th and I can not wait to start my new life.
I life in a small ocean side town in British Columbia, so it will be great to be able to wear fashionable beach wear. The greatest reason for my surgery is for a healthier lifestyle. I want to run with my kids, play with my dogs. I want my husband to be able to put his arms around me.
I look forward to taking this journey with all of you.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

TGG.

If you dont mind tell us how it was for you. What I mean is what was your cycle like to get to the Dr. How long Did you have to wait to see a surgeon and how long before a date was sent. I see you live in Canada.

So many of us in the states have personal healthcare. If you read about how many have had to fight the insurance companys. Canada if im correct has National Health Care. If you can share that with us we can learn alot im sure.
