Hi Everyone! I am very new to this site and have never posted a topic here either. I am half-way through the process to have my WLS Surgery and could always use friends who have had the surgery or waiting like me. I haven't told any of my friends at all and am a bit lonely right now. My parents know, but they don't count. LOL. I live in the Scarborough Area and will be having surgery at Humber River Hospital probably around the middle of October - Yeah!! Anyone out there wanna chat.

That's amazing! Congratulations! Any tips you can share?

Has anyone ever had their surgery done by Dr. Hagen? If so, what was your experience like? Thanks.

Hey Anewme2015!! Sorry that I wasnt here to chat with you, but that is so amazing! I am having my surgery at Humber River Memorial - Finch Site. I am meeting with my Internist Doctor on September 8 and will probably get my surgery date!!! It is a very exciting thing so I know how you feel. If you haven't already, research Dr. Penner. You can check him out on SPCO, put in his last name and it will give you info about him. I am sure he is an awesome doctor. We have the best doctors for this type of surgery in Canada. Hey would you be interested i keeping in touch with me? We can support each other through this by email if you want. I am so horrible about coming on here. My surgeon is Dr Hagen and my appointment with him was quite useless. LOL. He didn't give me any info at all about this procedure or anything. I was quite disappointed with meeting him, but I know he is good. I have spoken with some people who had him do their surgery as well. I hope your appointment is better. @Thecandidate - Congrats on your surgery!!! How are you doing now? Did you have your surgery in Toronto? Tell me about it. I am a bit nervous but quite excited as well. @@Livincrimson - How was your surgery? Are you doing well now? I would love to hear about the procedure that you went through in Washington. Looking forwarding to hearing back from you all. Sorry for the late replies, but I am horrible about coming on here. TTYL Tucker25

Hi Ladies @Djmohr: That's so amazing to hear that your medical issues are now gone. This is why Bariatric Surgery saves our lives. Thank you for welcoming me. ???? I will definitely take you up on your offer of support. Ahhhhh I'm so excited and scared too. Soooo many things will be happening soon. @Daisee: congratulations on your recent surgery!!! Woohoo!! How are you finding things so soon after? Do you have any pain and how is your eating? My main concern will be lack of Vitamins. I will be making sure to get every Vitamin in me and drink all of my water/liquids. I just met my nurse last week and dietician and it was serious information overload. Lots to do before surgery in October. But I am up for this challenge for sure. Anyways I will let you go for now, I need to finish painting my nails. Hehehehe. Thanks for your messages. ????????????????

This is wonderful, thank you so much for the valuable information. I will definitely make a checklist of the items you have listed.

@@kamarsha that's the hospital where I'm going too, and the same site. I'm way out in pickering and not familiar with the west end. Lol. Thank you for the information about your surgeon. Now I'm so excited. Where do you live? Are you in Toronto as well or outside? I want to know everything about your experience. Lol. I still have to have my meeting with the surgeon. I just had my info session December 8 2014. I hope to have my surgery around May or June. How are you doing?

Hi Anewme15, sorry but I haven't been on for a long time. I'm so excited for you and tintin. It's a very slow process here in Toronto, maybe cause of the population. I hope things speed up once I meet with the surgeon. @@kamarsha where did you have your surgery in Toronto? I'm with humber west, I think that's what it's called. Just curious.

Hey there. Well this is my first reply in here so bare with me. That is so very exciting about your appointment!! I was hoping to have the first appointment with the surgeon in February but they are months behind. ???? How is that possible? But this is such an amazing procedure and changes lives forever. I wish you all the success. What city do you live in? I'm in Toronto.
