How do you sign up for craving change in winnipeg? I live in Brandon and can't find any info on the course. Brandon does offer the craving change but not until September. I already went to my orientation in June and have my 4 appt. in September. I'd like to do the craving change sooner than September.

I say to call the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. I took mine in a small town north of Winnipeg so I wouldn't have to drive into the city.

My understanding is the Craving Change in Brandon is full for the fall. I started Craving Change last night at Victoria Hospital You usually get your dates for the sessions when you attend your first pre op appointments. But having said that it might be worth phoning as half of the people did not show up last night, there were only 8 of us.

There is supposed to be a new receptionist next week, so Jillian said our phone calls will get returned more quickly now.

I phone a couple of times and never got a reply. I finally emailed (sorry I don't remember where) and someone got back to me.I checked and I must have deleted the email sorry.

Try phoning the bariatric program on Monday and see if you can get in before your first pre op appointment. I tried and got no where but you never know with it being summer and people not showing up.

I'm sure they will be offering it in other places in your region- just wish I could remember who I talked to. Maybe try public health or diabetes educator, they might know who to contact.

Hi.  I'm Elizabeth from Winnipeg and I'm in Brandon this week.  Would you be free to go for coffee Wednesday evening?  It would be nice to meet you.  Make another contact.  I'll try to send you a private message with my phone number. You could text or call me.
