Recommended Posts

A girl I got sleeved wit h was from Ontario and she said the wait was 7-10 years and that could be extended. She said they are covering her Tummy Tuck tho and the wait for that is not as long.

Have any of the Canadians here looked in to having the surgery in Canada? If so, what was the estimated wait times? I'm assuming the Canadians going to Mexico are mostly because of the long wait times.

I was a "perfect candidate in Ontario... went through all of the tests and hoops for months... they said somewhere between 18+months )18 was the absolute lowest but it was increasing. However, they adopted the "Edmonton model" in October and told me I was no longer a candidate because I didn't have 2-3 co-morbidities and mobility issues, so I was basically kicked out of the surgical option and into the "life style" change program where you have opti-fast for 12 weeks.. sorry, I don't need a kick start to a diet, I've been there done that and gained more than I started with. Basically... I told them to shove it, asked them to send me my denial letter, and booked for March 4 in Puerto Vallarta with Dr Joya!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
