Welcome! You will find this to be a great site for both the ups and the downs. We are all on the same road. The more preparation you can do ahead of time...the faster things may be. Good luck.

Thanks, David

It will go fast for you I am sure. Depending on your hospital for surgery, as it plays into how fast you go. I went through HRRH, I was referred Jan 25/13 and had surgery June 2/13. Of course you have to factor in how sick you are ie: co-morbidity. I had the 3 big ones diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, my weight wasent extreme 225, and Im 5'4" . Almost to goal, I have 5 lbs more to go. All the best on your path, you will not regret it

I am 5'10" and I weigh 349 pounds. I've had a long history of high cholesterol and hypertension. My blood sugar is 6.2. I am in the early stages of liver disease caused by a fatty liver. I am hoping with this health history I will qualify for the surgery. I suspect I will have my surgery in Toronto.

Hey there I am up in Elliot Lake my surgery is April 22nd.   I will be having it at St. Josephs Hospital in Toronto.  My surgeon is David Lindsay.  Good luck on your journey.  :-)  Val

Welcome to the site - this is a great place to come for information and support.  Best of luck to you - what centre are you out of?

I live in Peterborough so I am an hour to half away from Toronto. I suspect my surgery site will either be Humber River or Toronto Western.
