New to this site, looking for information

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and looking for information as I have just asked my family doctor to refer me for surgery with the Victoria Hospital Program in Winnipeg, I want to try during my waiting period to lose weight, go to the gym, hopefully find a work-out buddy and some people who can just talk with me and answer my questions and or concerns, I have so much I want to know.......would anyone out there be interests in helping a newbie along the way??

Welcome to the group. There is a Meet and Greet at Sir William Stephanenson Library on Keewatin near Burrows this Saturday 1- 4 PM. This is a good place to start.

If you're interested I go to the downtown Y and am looking for a workout buddy.

Awesome thank you for the info, not sure if I can make it on Saturday but I certainly can try and the downtown Y, is where I go as well.....when do you normally go?

I'm trying to get into the routine of going first thing in the AM (Downtown Y opens at 6 AM weekdays, 7 AM weekends) but have been having a tough time doing that. Lately its been evenings but as I'm off from work, I can go almost anytime save when I have other commitments.

When do you go?

You can email me at [email protected] and hopefully we can get together and I might be able to answer some questions for you. I am 9 months post op now and it was the best thing I have ever done.
