Hi there... I had my surgery in November 2017 and I couldn't be happier! The surgery was a breeze and I was back to work in no time. The biggest adjustment for me was realizing that my eyes were much bigger than my stomach! To date I'm down 90 lbs with about another 40 to go. Of course it's more difficult to to lose the last 40 but I know I won't be gaining back the 90 Ive Lost! Smart shape was great, I was really well taken care of. Good luck with your up coming surgery!!

Anyone had MGP in Canada? I'm considering this as an option as the wait time in Ontario is 2-3 years for the traditional GP. With the MGP, although I have to pay for this privately, I can have the surgery sooner and begin getting my health back. The only concern I have is it doesn't seem to be a common surgery in Canada, yet it seems very popular in Europe. I'm wondering if there's a big puzzle piece I'm missing. Would love to hear any insight anyone may have. ?

Hello everyone!

I've been recommended this support forum from a trusted friend. So I'm looking for support.

I had my Minibypass at the beginning of January and I appear to have lost a significant amount of weight in the three weeks since. I seemed to have plateaued a bit around the end of week three, but I have the green light to go back to the gym this week... fingers crossed.

My real question and something that has been worrying me a bit is a significant abdominal discomfort that happens either just before or just after eating, followed by a large amount of burping. This has only really manifested last week (I wasn't very active as I'd just gone back to work and it was killing me trying to stay awake till ten o'clock.

Is it, therefore, normal, that I have a lot of trapped air in my stomach as I've not been moving enough, or is this serious and should I contact my surgeon?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am planning to go to a revision from vsg to mgb. Did you have the same type of revision?

Could you share your experiences after surgery? How was your doctor & location?, Are you happy with the results?. HOw was your recovery.

Tks & Regards Pedruel

Hi! I'm very new to this journey. I haven't had my surgery. I should be having my gastric bypass around Nov 2018. What I have left to do is my sleep study, ð?'" songram, stress test and see the physiology eval. So I have a little to go. What I'm wanting to know is some 1200 calorie food meals please. I want to lose as much as I can while waiting on my surgery. Thanks in advance.
