It has been a year since signing onto this website and I had lost 79 lbs through Dr Dents Clinic. It is now all back. 
Dr D finally sent in a request to OHIP for surgery on Monday and his office called on Thursday saying it was approved. 
I am now waiting to hear from Dr Graber about a date for my interview..... I am happy scared. 
I, because of my health plan to take early
retirement spring 2009 and want to be healthy to do all that I stated I want to do in my profile.
I had my interview with Dr Graber in NY, August 19, he is a very upbeat nice man. Initially surgery was booked for November 7th but this week I received a reschedule notice to have surgery on Nov 14. I am very excited about it. A new me just around the corner!!!
My background, I weighed 135 pounds at 5'1" when I was 11 years old. My mother who weighed the same was always dieting and putting me on a diet with her. At that time at my height I should have weighed (according the the Air Force Charts) 120 lbs.
So, that was the beginning of my many diets. When I was in High School, I weighed 150 lbs and felt fat and was told I was fat. Every single time I dieted, when I went off, I gained more weight than I was originally. Crazy.
I have never felt good about myself, even though, when I look at videos or pictures, I could cry because I wish I looked like that now.
