anewme2015 345 Posted July 28, 2015 I know the Canadian threads can be like yelling into a void but I'm so excited I have to yell! I have an appointment with my surgeon at Toronto Western on August 7th! It's finally happening! Has anyone else had their surgery with Dr. Penner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freshair 135 Posted July 28, 2015 Also just wanted to give you guys a quick update! 7 months after surgery I'm 100lbs down with only 40 to go to my goal weight. I feel amazing and above and beyond all the challenges, best decision I've ever made. Before and after pic me a year ago on the left me last week on the right!

moored 62 Posted August 18, 2015 5 months post op and 59 lbs down. 20 more to my high goal - hoping to lose another 15 after that. The loss has slowed down but that's more because of summer and camping lol. Congrats everyone on their hard work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remix 153 Posted October 12, 2015 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I'm thankful I got through the weekend without eating too poorly. How nice it is to focus on visiting and being active rather than being consumed by what to eat and when to eat like I used to be during these holidays!!! Yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
