Welcome to the best bariatric website around! You will find pretty much everything you are looking for here. I know I did.
My approval process took about a year to complete, with my RNY surgery date approaching fast on 07/29!
Being here, learning everything I could, meeting new friends, and especially being able to openly share my experience with so many others has been invaluable. And I can't imagine I would have gotten through the process without them.
Congratulations and good luck as you embark on your own journey!

Hi Everyone!
I am very new to this site and have never posted a topic here either.
I am half-way through the process to have my WLS Surgery and could always use friends who have had the surgery or waiting like me. I haven't told any of my friends at all and am a bit lonely right now. My parents know, but they don't count. LOL. I live in the Scarborough Area and will be having surgery at Humber River Hospital probably around the middle of October - Yeah!!
Anyone out there wanna chat.

It was so much fun. A friend of mine pointed out that I was 1 man away from being a virgin.... She was right! So let's just say my list had some really fun and scary stuff I never thought I could ever do in my life....I'm a very big prude lol. I had the time of my life even silly things like dancing to Christmas carols. 3 years after I met and married my best friend and earth angel

Thank you all so much for your kind responses. I truthfully have been over the relationship for three years, it just hit that he permanently shut the door when I thought it was always open. I know I'm better off!
Your stories about making lists are awesome! I need to do that. LOL
I keep thinking of Kelly Clarkson's Lyrics "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

When I got divorced after 25 years (i was with my ex since I was 15) My girl friend and I started a list of firsts. a phsyical list of everything we did for the first time on our own. OMG was it a blast!!! it totally took over our minds from the hurt and pain and it brought so much excitement almost like being reborn again. Everything I was told I couldnt do on my own, Camping with my 2 boys by myself for the first time. Sex for the first time as my husband was my one and only...that was not as hard as I thought it was going to be lmao. anyway you get the point. no matter how insignificant the action was we wrote it down and wow did that list grow and fast and we were so happy it was crazy. Sort of like a bucket list. I even traveled to Alabama from Calgary alberta All by myself with a transfer in Newark. That day I can honestly say I GREW UP AND BECAME AN ADULT best day besides my divorce certificate of my life.

Best revenge is to be insanely happy!

Thank you all for your kind words.
Its been a roller coaster ride of a relationship and I'm now ready to get off and wish him well. It's all I can do. I have to take care of me.
