Does anyone know of a support group in Ottawa, Canada area?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a support group in Ottawa. I have not yet booked my surgery (am thinking of going to Mexico to get it done) and have lots of questions (finding a good surgeon, location, post-op support, etc.).

Hi diane..sorry i have not gotten back to you till now..life is busy busy getting ready for surgery in 5 weeks...there isnt much to tell regarding how i went about picking a surgeon... i kind of just went 123 your it!! Well not quite like that...i went over to the Mexico forum and read lots of threads to see what doctor was popular...then i googled the name of the surgeons in order to find out wuat company they are through...then i started shopping for the cheapest price package..when i found the price package and the company...i then emailed the company and asked lots of questions and waited to hear back..its not as complicated as it seems..there are a lot of people who work with the different companies and they tend to get back to you with info right away..

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
