That's great, Robin.  Is it Dr. azad?

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

yes Dr. Azad the office will be calling this afternoon to book my appointment now that we know I am approved.... OMG I am excited to be having this at home though.  Pretty scared though just the same I understand the recovery is quite long and I have a hard time staying put with 2 kids and a busy lifestyle but I will commit to it if I want a speedy recovery and no complications.  Keep me posted on how you make out with yours please.

Ok, will keep you posted.  Only nine sleeps more for me!  But I still will probably want to have something done with the upper regions, so plan on asking about that at one of my post-op appts.  Maybe we can do an OHIP submission before I leave.  What criteria must you fulfill for breast work?

not sure exactly the requirements but I currently have about a 32 band and at my last fitting at "it fits you" I was an H cup I also have shoulder indents from wearing a bra and Dr Azad suggested that we put in for both.  I am thinking I would still like to be a D or DD cup as I am not small framed and think it will give proportion to my body but I still have to discuss that with the surgeon.

I had a brest reduction done several years ago, and want to give you a heads up.  ASk about the underarm areas.  They didn't remove tissue from there and I didn't ask, so now I have rols of fat under my arms and my bras still don't fit right.  I am now saving for that surgery as well as a tt.  Good luck.
