A Letter with No Answers

Our doctor phoned and requested to see us as soon as she received the letter from the Red Deer Bariatric Specialty Clinic. We made the appointment and went for very long and intensive appointments.

When we first got there they (both our doctor and her resident) asked us lots and lots of questions trying to figure out what the problem could be that they felt the need to dismiss us from the program. An hour later they still did not have the answer. As far as they could see there was no problem and we were good candidates.

The letter they received was basically a form letter saying that they dismissed us from the program, we could come back in a year and a half, and there are no prerequisites to us being referred again. There was also a referral to an eating disorders clinic even though they said we don’t have an eating disorder (we got the feeling that this was just something they referred everyone to who was dismissed from the program). After all this she said that she is going to write a letter to them requesting more information. I am not sure how much luck she is going to have as this is the letter they told us would have all the answers.

After a lot of discussion Ally and I have decided to look into surgery in Mexico. We are tired of putting our life on hold and waiting especially when we can't see what the problem is and there is no end in sight.

XOXO, Evie & Ally
