Whos from ontario



Recommended Posts

Hi there - I'm from Ontario too. Brand new to this site and looking to learn as much as I can! I'm at the "just starting to do research" stage. I've booked an appointment with my GP to discuss the option of vsg next week. I'm quite worried about wait times in Ontario and would love to hear others' experience (including those who travelled to have their surgery elsewhere).

Hi Trish, For me it has been a very long process. I was referred last March. I had orientation in June. At this point I expect to have my surgery in May, I will find out for sure in March. So my guess is 14 months start to finish. Also, I do not have the choice for VGS. At orientation which included a wide variety of BMIs that OHIP only covers RNY. The surgeon will perform VSG under some conditions, but that it was usually a decision they make in the operating room. I was really upset about this at first but now I have come around to preferring RNY.

Hi all. I'm from Mississauga. I just had my doctor referral today. So the journey is just beginning. Don't know if ohip will cover sleeve or bypass for me, and every day, I change my mind about which one I'd prefer. So confused!!
Looking forward to knowing you through this journey.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
