Hi tristantanople, my surgery date is January 21st. Which surgeon/hospital are you having your surgery at?

Hi CanadianGirl74 that is great news maybe we can be buddies. My surgeon is Dr. Jackson @ Toronto Western. I was originally with Dr. Klein at Humberview but the wait for him was too long so I got transferred. What about you?

Hey all I'm from Toronto and i just had my RNY surgery on December 1st. I too went through the TWH and honestly they are the best bariatric clinic in canada based on all the research I've done. It took me from orientation to surgery a year and a half due to complications i was a smoker and had other surgeries in between which pushed back some appointments also the sleep apnea test took forever! I would love to keep in touch with you guys don't know how much mentoring i can do as I'm only 2 weeks post op but ya would love for all us TWHers to keep in touch. Fyi i met my surgeon the day of surgery, i met with i guess the surgeons assistant and nurse when i got my surgery date. My surgeon was Dr. Urbach

That is gr8. I will also being having my surgery at Toronto western. It's scheduled for January 9th with Dr. Jackson. I will definitely reach out to you for some mentorship.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
