Just recently joined from Brandon, Manitoba - going next week for second meeting with surgical nurse, dietician, and kinesiologist. Hopefully get the go ahead to meet with the anesthetist and surgeon pre-op.

Morning PP is Dr chris Andrews your surgeon? He was mine and he is very good. Maybe I,ll see you at one of our peer group meetings for Victoria General group. My surgery was May 31 and I am down to 218 lbs, I haven't been this light since the late 80's, I feel great and I am getting use to the fact that food tastes different to me and is not as dissireable as before.

Good luck! It is usually bypass but you can request the sleeve. If you're with TWh you will more than likely get it but do your research - Bypass is the gold standard of weight loss surgery. If you do end up at Toronto Western, be sure to call regularly for cancellations- it will significantly reduce your wait times. I have 2 friends still waiting for surgery- I had mine on January 9th.

      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! 😞
