Wish I could help you but I'm only familiar with the Dieticians who work out of the Victoria Hospital. Perhaps there is a Dieticians Group or organization that you can call and ask for a referral. I am preparing to hopefully have VSG in November. I have my consult with my surgeon in September. Feel free to message me if you would like to stay in touch. Donna
Craving Change is a set of 4 evening classes that are led by the Dietician and Psychologist. There is a manual that you can google called "Craving Change". It helps you understand Cravings and gives you suggestions on coping strategies for dealing with cravings. I think I went on 4 Thursday evenings that were spread out over about 6 weeks. I found it very valuable and it gave me a chance to meet a few people in the city that have either had the surgery or are in the process of preparing to have it. Once you are in the program at the Victoria Hospital, they will give you the dates for the program. I hope this helps. Donna
You might want to consider joining an online forum on MFP (My Fitness Pal). There are forums on there specific to VSG and RNY and some that are for all types of WLS. I spend a lot of time on there & have made a great network of support.
When you say "Meet & Greet" are you talking about the clothing exchanges? I can't do Tuesdays and was unable to make that one.
Is there a regular support group for people who are preparing for or who have had WLS? I would love to be a part of one.
Congratulations on having your surgery date. that is very exciting. Wishing you the best.
if you send me your facebook name or your email I can invite you....Karen
I tried finding these on Facebook and could not seem to locate them.
Thanks for the replies. Although I am not overly excited about the wait, I have been up and down weight wise for over 30 years. I am 48 now, and can wait my turn. Will be a life changing thing.
Thanks for the reply. I have been reading, and think that there are less issues with the VSG surgery.
