So The Journey Begins....

[Julie is now free 0]

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!

Welcome bud

11/15/12????that is a date that will go down in history

as you lose weight, you will become healthier and happier

glad you had the sleeve over the by-pass , but i'm a little biased

ask any and all questions

if in doubt, medical problem, question - call/see your nut

we aren't doctors, but we're pretty darn smart, cute too

good luck

continue to have a good recovery
