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?

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??

Are we getting together for coffee on this upcoming Wednesday evening? Please let me know. I'd prefer somewhere downtown or in the Village as there's a rally st the Legislature I might be attending.

l'll let you know how quick it is... lol Some are waiting a year, in order to make sure they pass all the qualifications for the surgery. But myself, l require it for medical reasons, lm type 2 diabetic, have sever sleep apnea and use a cpap machine, and the weight of my abdomen is causing me undue tummy issues. And id have those issues taken out but they cant because my abdomen is too heavy. Hoping that these things push me forward and i dont have to wait very long.. lm weighing in at 283 @ 5'4in.. and most is in my tummy area.. :(

l have my first initial consult in a few weeks.  A friend at work referred me to this site. l have no clue how long the wait

times are here in Ontario. But we have more then one centre here as well .. l will be attending the Hamilton Ont site. We

also have one in Guelph, ont as well..
