Hi Everyone, I am just 3 weeks shy of hitting my one year anniversary of my RNY. I was 316 when I started optifast and today I am 170. I couldn't be happier! The weightloss has definitely slowed down but I'm still hoping to get down another 10 or 15

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know roughly how much you have paid for your plastics. Arm lift, extended tummy tuck and breast lift with possible implants. I will not be going through OHIP. I understand all Dr's are going to quote and charge

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone taken FeraMAX for iron? Are you achieving good results? I work in health care and I was told by one of our NP's (not a bariatric unit) to ask my Dr. to put me on FeraMAX for my iron levels instead of what I am using no

Hi Everyone,
For those that suffer allergies post op....can I ask what products you are safely taking? It's Sunday, Dr is not open and my eyes and nose are driving me crazy.

Had my surgery today at TWH @ 11:30 I was in my room by 2:30. I was to have Dr Urbach but instead I had Dr Penner. Seems like a lovely man. He went out and updated my worried parents and said I was his easiest case yet. Not sure what that means... M

Hello,

Hello everyone,
