I an looking for anyone that has had this done in manitoba. You can private message me if you dont want to message on open forum. I have some questions. As I was just accepted to go through for mine.

I’m also on the candidacy list, was supposed to go to an informational session in Winnipeg last month but obviously because of covid it was canceled. I’ve received an email with a link to a YouTube video and an application questionnaire but I’m having a hard time filling it out because I’m not as active as I was before covid. I’m also debating whether to go on with it or not because of the side effects (hair loss, needing to take multiple vitamins a day for life, dehydration amongst others). But I gained a lot of weight in the 9 years since quitting smoking and I know I can’t lose the weight on my own. I’m feeling stuck. Just knowing another person is going through the same thing is reassuring

Who had it done and are back to the size they were. It must be a big help but I think a person would really need to change their lifestyle habits. Get into a completely different routine and stay active. The 3 people I know of never changed anything. Best of luck to you!

My friend’s son had it done. He said he doesn’t know what worse. The bleeding problems or constantly going to the bathroom.

Aunt had it done. Dropped a massive amount of weight quickly, caused her teeth too fall out. Hair to fall out her skin to be ruined. Gained it all back within 7 years.

Reading what some has posted has me worried. I know this isnt the cure lol. It's a tool and of course a life change. But defintly dont want it to kill me iether..

I have not done it, so no personal experience. But I think that if I would ever get to that point in life I would go for it. But I would also know that I would take on a radical change of lifestyle and thought process, but that's just me. So I think that if you could commit to turning your whole life upside down for your health and stick to it, then go make a change !! But if you are going to quit after 10 months , don't bother.
