Where are all the Canadians ?



Recommended Posts

I know the Canadian threads can be like yelling into a void but I'm so excited I have to yell!

I have an appointment with my surgeon at Toronto Western on August 7th! It's finally happening!

Has anyone else had their surgery with Dr. Penner?

Also just wanted to give you guys a quick update! 7 months after surgery I'm 100lbs down with only 40 to go to my goal weight. I feel amazing and above and beyond all the challenges, best decision I've ever made. Before and after pic me a year ago on the left me last week on the right!

5 months post op and 59 lbs down. 20 more to my high goal - hoping to lose another 15 after that. The loss has slowed down but that's more because of summer and camping lol. Congrats everyone on their hard work.

Have a surgery date- October 19th! Very excited and looking forward with great optimism, although the 3 weeks of Optifast will be a challenge! Hope my fellow Canadians are experiencing success!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I'm thankful I got through the weekend without eating too poorly. How nice it is to focus on visiting and being active rather than being consumed by what to eat and when to eat like I used to be during these holidays!!! Yay

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
