Ottawa folks?
Hey... just wondering if there is anyone on here that either went through the Ottawa Hospital, or will be :)
I would have loved to attended the local meetup that took place, but the timing didn't work at all, unfortunately.
Don't know why particularly I would like to meet some peeps that went through Ottawa (What is the short code for that? OH? I see a lot of you use short codes for hospital programmes) but I figured it would be neat to ask the silly, ultra specific questions, commiserate about the cold weather, etc :)
Thanks in advance!
I'm not going through there but I believe their abbreviation is TOH (The Ottawa Hospital). Good Luck with your Journey.

I really encourage you to come to the next local meeting on the 12 Feb - its once a month so not a huge commitment of time, but its so great to be able to chat and share with others who are going through the same thing as you. I definitely look forward to it each month and I have to drive an hour to get there each time, but its well worth it. I hope to see you!

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
