Hi, I have been preparing for Gastric bypass surgery since Oct. 2011 (referral from family physician). From Feb. 2012 to April 2012, I met with many team member from the Bariatric Clinic at Toronto Western Hospital. In Sept. 2012, I met my surgeon Dr. Grantcharov. My surgery took place on Nov. 15th, 2012. I was supposed to have a Roux en Y but unforseen circumstances led the surgical team to plan B. I have a gastric sleeve. It all worked out in the end. I have a million and one questions because I wasn't really prepared for this new route. As every journey starts with one step, mine has a twist and a bend in the road but the view is incredible!
