chanc 5 Posted May 10, 2014 When are you having your surgery done? Is it in Hamilton? I actually lived there till I was 13. Went to Adelaide Hoodless public school. Small world, lol. I don't have a date yet. I'm going to meet with the dietician on Monday. It's my first step. It is all going to be through St. Joe's here in Hamilton. I requested the referral from my Dr almost three years ago... It took her 2 years until I finally realized she had no intention of sending me... Though she said she was in favor of it. Anyways, that's done... Positive thoughts now!! I went to a private school in Hamilton. Had a bit of a sheltered upbringing. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maltese gal 63 Posted June 4, 2014 Hi all, I haven't been on here for a few weeks but I DID IT! May 28 was my day and I ended up havering the RNY bypass, my surgeon explained that the sleeve still doesn't have enough research on it and he's getting sleeve patients coming in with problems and the RNY has been around for 30 years and is proven most successful. I haven't been on because during my Optifast pre. Op diet I was also in the middle of moving from Brampton to Shelburne. The optifast was definitely the hardest the first 3 days, then it was a piece of cake, maybe because I was so busy from morning till night but I lost 12 lbs in that week and a half on it. I'm down 20lbs now including the 12 . It's been 1 weeks today since surgery and I'm doing great, sometimes I feel like I didn't have the surgery! No pain thank God, I was up and walking the day of surgery and I think that helped too. Any questions feel free my bariatric friends xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
