Looking for others in Canada



Recommended Posts

I'm from British Columbia Canada but went to Montreal for my RNY. My surgery was on Sept 21, 2015.

I'm available if you have any questions or support or anything :)

I am in Calgary and had surgery Jan.8th/16. It definitely has been an interesting ride with many emotions! But I am glad that I did this:)

Hi betterhealthahead:). I actually started the process 3 years ago, but I wasn't planning on surgery. My doctor thought it would be good to do the classes and get more info. I did all of that by the summer of 2013. Then I used the info I learned and went to the monthly support groups. In the summer of 2015 I decided I wanted surgery, so started that process and met with my surgeon in October and then had surgery in January. For me it went quick once I made the decision, but I know others have waited or are waiting a lot longer. I think it was the timing that worked out for me because they had a new surgeon starting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
