I know there's a program in Edmonton too. They are both different. With red deer you need to go to monthly weigh ins on top of all the test they do. You are required to loose 10% and keep a food journal that they check. Wait time varies on how you do.

Medical Id Tag Or Bracelet?i
nathalie replied to TracyLynn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I'm from the red deer area and we have a lot of people from Calgary in our program.

Do I Have A Leak Or Gas

Mine lasted about a week. It was awful. I switch between hot water bottle and bag of peas. Gas x strips also helped a little. -

I'm now 8 days post op and it takes me all day to get a water bottle size of protein shake in. The gas pain stated getting better about day 5-6. And I had my first bm day 6 and has since turned into diarrhea. Here at my clinic were on clear fluids for the first 2 weeks.
