Hello, I am getting my surgery on the 31st in Saskatchewan. I am 23 and around 270 lbs also. I would love to keep in touch as you start this journey! I will definitely let you know how my surgery goes and the days following!!

Hey, So today I had my appointments with the Dietician, Psychologist, and Exercize therapist! It went really good, I got to ask lots of questions and feel a lot more ready for surgery. So one week from today i will start my pre-op diet. Anyone have any suggestions for the next week things to help prepare myself??

I am 23 years old, and a single mom to a little boy who turns 5 in September. I have roughly 110 lbs to lose. I am from Saskatchewan. Only my parents and one close friend know I'm getting the surgery, and I would love to have someone to talk to about it who has been through or is going through the same thing as me. I get banded on May 31st in Regina, Saskatchewan. I am very nervous, but have been researching like crazy and am so excited to get a new chance at life, and be able to have energy and enjoy my little boy!! I start my pre-op diet a week from tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing from you! Alyssa

Hi Everyone, Was I ever happy to find this website! The information from everyone is overwhelming and so encouraging! I have struggled with my weight for many years (as long as I can remember), but have been the heaviest the last 4 1/2 years since I had my son. I have done every diet imaginable. So finally as I sat in my doctors office and cried (one of several times) she gave me information on the lap band, and I knew it was something I had to do. My surgery is scheduled for May 31st in Regina, SK. I begin my pre-op diet on the 17th. I am VERY excited, and of course nervous. But so anxious to get my life back and have energy for my little boy. Would love to hear from you all!! Alyssa
