Orientation was Feb 11, Surgery was Nov. 26. There is a great Facebook support group for folks who did the surgery at St. Joes - it's got over 600 people on it - are you on Facebook?

No I don't do Facebook. That's not a long wait. They're now saying 7-8 months between orientation and the next appointment which is why I switched to a Toronto hospital.

How's post-surgery? Feeling good?

Healing has been great. Absolutely no problems. My surgeon was Dr Gamora. He was fantastic. I had no piercing pains even in recovery. He only does 4 entry holes. The other surgeons do 5 or six.

My first visit with the assessment nurse was April 7 2015. My surgery was June 2nd and infact they wanted to do me May 20th.

My 1st followup up at west 5th is June 9th.

I plan to attend their support group which meets the 3rd Tues of every month up at the West 5th campus.......mike

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?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
