I go into surgery for RNY Gastric Bypass tomorrow morning in Toronto at Toronto Western Hospital. I have to be at the hospital by 8 and then my surgery starts at 11am. I can't believe that day is finally here, it seems like I have been waiting for this new chapter of my life for a very long time. Female age 25 Height: 6'3" Starting weight: 365 Surgery weight: ? Goal weight: 225 This is the last time I want to ever be this heaven or look like this again. I'm saying goodbye to this body and hello to the new me! http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.665905,-79.379851&zoom=14&markers=43.665905,-79.379851&size=400x300&sensor=true

I'm so frustrated. I'm 3 weeks post op today and last weekend I gained almost 1.5 lbs and this week only went down 2.5 lbs. how is this happening so fast? I feel discouraged like this was a waste right now. I'm trying to stay positive but it's really hard at this point. I don't know what to do...

I just bought the Withings scales from the Apple store and it's awesome! Also on the higher price side, $150 cad but it's tracks up to 8 people and does weight, bmi, fat %, heart rate and air quality. It also connects to your phone to track steps and more! I highly recommend it!

Ok I got home today. The surgery went great but took 3.5 hours cause apparently I had lots of muscle, weird! I'm still in some pain in my stomach but I'm walking pretty well. Trying to figure out the eating part is next!

I got moved up so I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning at 11am, less than 12 hours away now. Goodbye to my old body, hello to my new life! 25, female, 6'3" SW 365 GW 225 Here I go!

RNY July 7 in Toronto! Getting nervous but excited too!

I'm 25 and will be having the RNY gastric bypass on July 7 in Toronto.

I am having Gastric Bypass Surgery in Toronto on July 7! 2 weeks to go and I can't wait! I have been on Optifast liquid diet for a week and it has been tough but I'm trying to concentrate on the big picture. Female, 6'3", 25 years old HW: 365 GW: 225 more if it is healthy for me

Did anyone ever cheat on the Optifast? I'm finding 3 weeks of no food really tough. I'm only on day 6 and am just craving to eat real food.

I'm getting bypass in Toronto July 7th, just started my first day on Optifast and it is already a bit of a struggle. 20 more days to go...

I'm July 7th in Toronto! It feels so amazing and scary to be able to say that!

I found out on Friday that my surgery is on July 7 at Toronto Western Hospital! I can't wait, but I am not looking forward to three weeks of Optifast. Blah.

The psych appointment went really well. It's a waiting game for a bit now though. Apparently everyone you meet with gets together once a week to discuss each case and decide if any thing else is needed before you see the surgeon. Hopefully all is good and they will book the surgeon appointment soon!

Yes I did! Most of my appointments weren't supposed to be till may and June!

I'm in Toronto and have heard wait times are around 9 months at the moment here. What I would say is if you are able to make the time to take appointments whenever, don't settle for the first date they give you. I have my last appointment before I see the surgeon tomorrow and only went to the first appointment at the beginning of the month! I call and see if there are any cancellations all the time until I get them moved up! So hopefully I will have the surely done in the next couple months if I can!

I'm also from Toronto. I have my final appointment tomorrow before I see the surgeon. I am so nervous and really would love to get the surgery done and over with. Is anyone else doing the appointments and surgery through Toronto Western Hospital?

How long did the process take you in Toronto from referral to surgery date? I was referred almost a month ago and I am so nervous and just want to have it done. I am sick of being like this!
