This is a great site with great information but there is also there is a facebook group for Humber River that is much more active then this site.
Welcome!
I t will be faster then a year. I just went through HRH and it took me 7 months from orientation to surgery (and that was including the wait for the sleep test). If you don't need a sleep test, you might even move through faster.
What surgeon do you have. I had Dr. Hagen and he was amazing!
Hey,
So am new to this forum and the whole gastric bypass procedure.
A little bit about my journey thus far:
Referal: Feb 2019
Orientation: June 2019 HRH
Surgeon: August 19th, 2019
Internist: August 12th, 2019 Dr. Glazer
So my question is how soon could me surgery date be? I know I still have to see the, nurse and SW but am just curious. I was under the assumption the process could take over a year but it seems sooner, am not complaining just excited and nervous I guess.
Any and all advice and information would help. Thank you
I was all messed up because your subject line was for Wednesday!! I need this week to be over and you just put me back a day! Lol
QOTD - I love going to all the summer festivals but since I purchased our trailer 3 years ago, I haven't been to much. I use to love going to the food truck event, Canada day event and farmers markets every Saturday.
B- Milk
S - Cheese slice
L - Chicken thigh and a carbquick biscuit
S - yogurt
D - Probably same as lunch
Good afternoon all. I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.... I enjoyed my Saturday with my son and his gf at a local art/craft show along the lake. Sunday was yard work day and then Monday we started some new flooring which is still ongoing. The gym was busier than usual on Tuesday but not too bad last night so tonight I may just relax.
QOTD: Do you do the local shows/festivals through the summer months and what is your favorite type. I really enjoyed this art/craft show even though all we walked out was some SF jam.
B - triple zero peach yogurt (blah isn't too flavorful but i have 3 more to eat)
S - boiled egg
L - chicken sausage with spinach/feta, small salad
S - SF apple sauce
D - protein shake
S - turkey pepperettes
Congratulations on your surgery date! So exciting!
I went through Humber as well and they are fabulous. You are in good hands.
It's been 3 months since my last post so in the interest of keeping any searchers informed on the process, I've decided to come back and update.
My surgery is scheduled for October 7th with Dr Starr at Humber River.
After calling once a week for a few weeks in a row, I received a call from the Bariatric clinic mid May with my first appointments.
May 27 - met Dr Starr
June 10 - Nurse and Dietician (2/3 trios)
June 12 - Dr Glazer
June 28 - Social Worker (3/3 trio)
i called Dr Starr's office right after my social worker appointment to inform them I was done the process and had been cleared. I received a phone call on July 4th informing me my surgery date (October 7) and pre-op appointment (Sept 4) to get Optifast and sign paperwork.
Im super excited and anxious considering I started this process last September with the walk in doctor.

I am not crazy about the shakes either but I found this milk that is 14g per cup. I find it much easier to drink and cheaper too!
Thanks for your thoughts. I think I will probably go ahead with it.

I do eat a similar breakfast (0% lactose-free greek yoghurt + fresh berries + sprinkle of Kashi Go Lean)- but I find I'm FULL - so end up often not eating until dinner. That varies. I know I need to get the shakes in but have developed a real distaste for them (curious, as before surgery, I loved protein shakes)- going to have to find some high protein new kinds to try. Those should be where i make up my lack. thanks for filling me in!
