I will be going to Guelph for Orientation Jan 3, if i hear anything about a new program then I can post it.  I did hear that the centres in ont. were going to be more unified with their approach to diet after surgery etc.  but this isn't verified info.

More than likely a weight management program where users have weekly weigh ins and possibly use optifast.  Windsor is getting one too.

The program uses optifast, it consists of weekly meetings in guelph for weigh in and support. The meetings are covered by OHIP and you have to buy your own optifast. It is basically physician supervised optifast with a nutritional component to gradually wean you off the optifast and institue healthier eating while slowly returning to a regular diet.

Thunder Bay has one as well.  Don't know much about it, but I think it's a supervised liquid diet. Not sure what product they use.  I suspect all the centres are offering this now as an alternative to surgery.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
