Hi I am new to the site and looking for fellow Canadians that are going through the process of getting RNY would love to hear your experiences

Im going to the orientation april 18 as well in Toronto

Kristen - that is so cool- we will have to keep an eye out for 1 another- my first name is Teena. My dad will be coming with me as my support person. Hubby has to work.

Yes for sure I'm taking the go train there alone i hope i dont get lost lol.

Omg Daizymom I have never met another person with the same first name as me ! My first name is Teena as well!

LOL- I know - it's a different way to spell it for sure. Funny story - I went to high school with a girl who spells it this way, and not we work together. To top it all off there is one other person that works here that also spells it that way. But other than the 3 of them and now you, I've never seen anyone spell it this way.

I'm planning to take the Go train as well. Where do you live? I'm in Courtice.

I couldn't get it to work in the app I don't think- but on the website- I just clicked your name and then the button in the top right that said Add as friend.

Hi there,

I'm in Thunder Bay, ON. I had my orientation/intake appointment at the Bariatric Centre here in December 2014. I had RNY surgery on May 11, 2015 so I'm coming up on my 1 yr anniversary. I'm down 80lbs and about 20 lbs from my goal weight. I've stalled for about 6 wks now, but that is entirely my doing - haven't been as diligent with my diet lately.

I had no complications and I'm much happier since having the surgery.

That is awesome where are you ? I am in Alberta

Hey I'm in Edmonton. Where abouts are you?

In Kingston (actual surgery will be in Toronto) just finished up my appointments with both the Dietician and Social Worker. Waiting for the pre-surgery class dates now.

Things are moving along rather smoothly since I adjusted my diet and exercise habits prior to attending my first orientation class to show them that I'm motivated.

Glad to hear it's moving smoothly! I transplanted to AB from Ontario.

I'm in Edmonton too. I just met with the surgeon on Apr 28 but don't start my pre-op classes until Sept. I could have gotten into the Aug class but I am away on vacation then.

Yes, I need to do the bone density (I haven't scheduled it yet) and in July I go for an endoscopy (I have GERD). I don't see the dietician until October.
