Looking for others in Canada

[heather5565 959]

I'm from British Columbia Canada but went to Montreal for my RNY. My surgery was on Sept 21, 2015.

I'm available if you have any questions or support or anything

I am in Calgary and had surgery Jan.8th/16. It definitely has been an interesting ride with many emotions! But I am glad that I did this:)

Starfish17 how long was your process in Calgary from referral to intake to surgery?

[Starfish17 2]

Hi betterhealthahead:). I actually started the process 3 years ago, but I wasn't planning on surgery. My doctor thought it would be good to do the classes and get more info. I did all of that by the summer of 2013. Then I used the info I learned and went to the monthly support groups. In the summer of 2015 I decided I wanted surgery, so started that process and met with my surgeon in October and then had surgery in January. For me it went quick once I made the decision, but I know others have waited or are waiting a lot longer. I think it was the timing that worked out for me because they had a new surgeon starting.
