Ottawa support group

Not sure what the cost but the other Ottawa Doc charged $75 for a fill. I think the Montreal Docs would take care of their own fills though??

Good luck

Woohoo! :whoo: I'm FINALLY under 300 pounds!!! It took a long time to start losing weight but the scale started going down in December.

So I've lost around 30 pounds but it doesn't show at all yet. My clothes are a bit looser - I'm looking forward to dropping sizes too.

So what are your weight-loss goals for the New Year? I'm going down south in March and would really like to be under 275 by then.

The next Ottawa group meeting is this Saturday, January 5th, 10:30 am at Denny's on Merivale.

I know a few new people are also interested in joining us. Is everyone still planning to be there? Can we make a reservation at Denny's?

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Wow! Congrats on reducing your dress size! I can't wait to fit into a 3x again - I find it so much easier to find pretty clothes in the 1x-3x range.

The Denny's is at 1378 CLYDE AVE, NEPEAN, ON K2G 3H9

If you're coming from the Queensway, take the Maitland (south) exit. Maitland turns into Clyde and Denny's is just past the Baseline intersection.

If you're coming from the Champlain Bridge, continue straight to Merivale, past Baseline, and turn right on Clyde (the CJOH building is at this corner).

Woohoo! Bravo AZA!!!

I'm not having the same success unfortunately... I've had like 5 fills so far, I'm at 8 CCs and no restriction... I'm getting discouraged!

I will be there Saturday, I think we should make a reservation, but no idea how many we'll be... any ideas?

I will be there on Saturday! You cannot make a reservation at Denny's so my suggestion would be that we all meet at the front doors at 10:30 and then we can get a table that would accommodate all of us. Any Thoughts? I am looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing about your experiences as I am being banded January 24th and have lots of questions.

See you Saturday

Agnes

I will be there on Saturday, and I want to congratulate you on your success, I was so excited when I went from 5x to 3x to 1x and now I am in size 18, I have even bought some pants that were on sale size 16 and 14 that I know that I will fit into very soon. My goal is to be below 200 by April 9, 2008 when we leave for Cuba.

I do not believe there is one organizer as some of us were from the Yahoo Band site and others from here... But, none the less... I will see you there.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
