Peterborough
Hello :)
My names Em. I`m a 33, mom to a 12 year old diva lol, and currently going to school for EMS dispatch. I`m looking for a support group or WLS friends in the Peterborough area. I also go to school in Oshawa, so anywhere really between the two. I`ve started my RNY process, met Dr Hagen at HRRH, met with the trio. I see Dr Glazier in July. I don`t have support at home, in fact my spouse is outright against my decision, so I`m hoping to find support anywhere. I really don`t want to do this alone, but I know in my gut and my heart that it is the best decision for me. I`m just looking for someone I can talk and relate with. Thanks :)

Hi there, Dr Hagen is amazing I just had my surgery with him on April 11.. There is a support group in Oshawa we meet weekly one week it's on a Tuesday night next week it on Thursday night.. Tuesday night we meet in Oshawa the Thursday in whitby.. Amazing group of people so friendly and welcoming lots of support.. I started going there year before having surgery it was so nice to have the support and the advice also hearing their stories. Plus watching the ones that just had seeing there results as time went by.. If u have Facebook we have a private group that's very active ur more then welcome to join..
Referral received at hrrh Nov6/14, orientation March23/15, surgery April 11/16
Yes- if you can come to our group that would be great! I will PM you - if you're on Facebook, we have a Facebook group. Such an amazing group of people. I hear you on the spouse part- my husband would very much rather I not have the surgery. Fortunately he's not trying to stop me either. If you're seeing Dr. Glazier in July- your surgery will be soon! I had my orientation with TWH last week and was told it will take 6 months to a year from then.

RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.
77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
Yeah, she`s not trying to stop me either thankfully, but trying to talk about it, basically just causes all hell to break loose. I got referred back in Jan. 14, had my orientation in April 2014, then all went quiet for almost a year. I met Dr Hagen in March of this year, then the trio last week. So It`s been a slow process for me :( I would love to attend the group!!! and I am on Facebook! Thanks for your reply!!

Hi Em!

There is a group on Facebook and they post when the meetings are.
