Whos from ontario



Recommended Posts

Hi there - I'm from Ontario too. Brand new to this site and looking to learn as much as I can! I'm at the "just starting to do research" stage. I've booked an appointment with my GP to discuss the option of vsg next week. I'm quite worried about wait times in Ontario and would love to hear others' experience (including those who travelled to have their surgery elsewhere).

Hi Trish, For me it has been a very long process. I was referred last March. I had orientation in June. At this point I expect to have my surgery in May, I will find out for sure in March. So my guess is 14 months start to finish. Also, I do not have the choice for VGS. At orientation which included a wide variety of BMIs that OHIP only covers RNY. The surgeon will perform VSG under some conditions, but that it was usually a decision they make in the operating room. I was really upset about this at first but now I have come around to preferring RNY.

Hi all. I'm from Mississauga. I just had my doctor referral today. So the journey is just beginning. Don't know if ohip will cover sleeve or bypass for me, and every day, I change my mind about which one I'd prefer. So confused!!
Looking forward to knowing you through this journey.

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

      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! 😞
