And so it begins...

Apr 09, 2013

Well, after 5 years of researching, soul searching and decision making, my family doctor is making a referral to the Ontario Bariatric Registry for me today. My hospital will be St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton. There will likely be at least a 6 month waiting list, which is fine. It sounds like there are a lot of tests and preparation to be done. I feel hopeful and happy about this decision. I need to look into making a will and a living will before surgery. I need to have these anyway, so this is a push I need. My current weight is 286 pounds and I am 5' 8.5 inches tall. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, skin rashes, severe shortness of breath and am having mobility issues due to my weight.
