Canadians?

Has anyone from Canada went through the information session as I have my appointment next week where my doc said they will ask me if I have really tried losing the weight on my own.  Just wondering if anyone could share their experience with this part of the process so I can be prepared.  I was also wondering if anyone has had the Roux En Y in Canada and can give me some advice about finding a doctor?

I'm in Ontario - 17 mos post op. I'm sure it is different province to province. If you are in Ontario - I think you can just google "gastric bypass Ontario" - and you should get hits on the current process. It has been centralized. Different than when I when I went through. No one except my surgeon asked me about previous dieting attempts. So can't help you there.

...oh, forgot.  I was 56 when I went through the surgery.  I spent my 20's and part of my 30s dieting y- but had given us as they don't work.  I was able to talk about some of the diets - but really had forgotten a lot.  I remember surgeon was somewhat surprised at my answer.  He said usually people can rhyme off every detail - but he wanted to me to understand that WLS is really the last option, which I already got or I wouldn't have been sitting there!

 Jory what province are you in? We can help you find surgeons a lot easier that way. I had my RNY done in Medicine Hat in January. You will need a referal from your family doctor to see a weight loss surgeon.
