Topic: RE: Meet and Greet and clothing Swap April 17

Hi Lorna, I'm planning to be there unless something unexpected happens. I'm bringing my bariatric book for prospective surgery candidates to have a look at plus an USB with bariatric articles to pursue.

I'll be coming by bus from the gym so will be traveling light. Can you bring a laptop to plug the USB into? Thanks.

I am in the Gimli area, and know I missed out recently. I think the next workshop they are having in the IREHA is Pine Falls. I also noticed Selkirk is offering a "eating for health" program in June, which might be worth checking out!

Topic: RE: I think I'm going to Mexico..thoughts?

I cant remember exactly but Im pretty sure I had my surgery on Tuesday, stayed in the hospital until Thursday or Friday then they moved me over to the hotel for one night (included in the price). We stayed one extra night in San Diego because we wanted a few hours to do some sightseeing and the flight was very early the next morning. Some people fly home as soon as they leave the hotel but that depends on how you feel and the times of the flights. If you cant get a good flight, staying the extra night and having a bit of a breather once you've left all the medical surroundings, is very relaxing. Hope that helps!

Hi,

im not from Winnipeg, but am in the program, and am DAYS AWAY from having my surgery scheduled! YAY! But, the craving change is offered by most dieticians, just ask your doctor, or your public health office, and ask to talk to a dietician, and they will be able to help you.

I know they were offering it in Brandon but when I called last spring, they were booked and had a waiting list so I imagine it is still hard to get into...

Do you mind me asking, what area do you live in?  It would be so nice to be able to take mine in a Health Centre closer then Wpg.

To those who went to Mexico, how many nights did you stay at the hospital? Once discharged, did you have to stick around town a few days before you could fly back?
