Looking for Hamiltonians

[looking_forward 6]

Just downloaded this app, instantly went looking for an Ontario group and found you guys! I'm in Hamilton and just had my RNY at St. Joes last week (April 20). Doing well so far.

I don't know if the people from this thread are still around, but I'll talk to you!

I'm not exactly a Hamiltonian, but I am from St. Catharines originally, so just a hop east of you. In fairness though I'm not even there anymore as I'm currently residing in North Dakota, but I just felt compelled to reply to someone so close to home. ????

Congrats on your surgery! I'm glad your recovery is going smoothly so far. I myself had RNY in January, so if you have any questions or just want to chat, I'd be happy to oblige. Take care.

Hello, I am from Hamilton, I have my orientation appointment on this coming Monday. My only problem is that they didn't say on the message where the appointment is or leave a call back number, i tried calling my referring clinic and they couldn't tell me where the appointment is, the number for the bariatric center the message said they would get back to me in 2 business days which doesn't help when my appointment is this Monday. So can anyone tell me where the orientation appointment is? Is it at the west 5 campus or at the downtown hospital.

I'd just call st. Joe's directly- not the bariatric unit. They should still be able to tell you. Orientation is at the downtown campus on James st south. Good luck!

Hello Everyone

I download the app and the first support thread I see is in Hamilton. Perfect!! I'm in Dundas. And then I see it's from 2014.

I'm pre-op, I've been working my way through the appointments and have been told to expect surgery in October. I'm looking to connect with people at any stage of the process.

I'm in Ancaster. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. I had my surgery last October and have lost around 112 lbs so far.

@@itsgonnabegreat I've attended two of the support group sessions so far, had to miss the June meeting. Planning to make it this month. The group isn't quite what I imagined it would be, but I've learned at least one thing each time, and they say those who attend have a better rate of success long term. I figure 90 minutes a month isn't too much to ask for.

@@mebal I've never been much of a gym person. I stuck to "gentle walking" for the first eight weeks per the clinic's direction. At this point I'm walking whenever I can (the goal being at least once a day), swimming as often as my schedule allows, and dancing around the house, part for exercise but more for fun!
