  1.    Sojourner reacted to a post in a topic: Diabetes Under Control, Surgery Date Set!
  2. I am from Edmonton, Alberta Canada and I am having my surgery on April 27th in Toronto at the Slimband clinic. Slimband has a clinic in Edmonton but only does the surgeries in Toronto. I fly to Toronto on April 26th and fly back to Edmonton on April 28th the day after my surgery. I assume this is quite common as they have enough patients here to support a clinic but I'm wondering if anyone has done this and could let me know what to expect. There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable during a 4 hour flight. I've booked a seat with extra leg room for the return flight. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to make my return travel as comfortable as possible?
  3. I'm so excited to finally have a confirmed surgery date! I was initally suppose to have my surgery on February 24, 2012 however during my pre-op blood work they discovered I have diabetes! I was 11 days into my pre-op diet and they postponed my surgery. Needless to say I was disappointed and upset as I was mentally ready to get it done. Thankfully my diabetes is now under control and my surgery has been confirmed for April 27th! I started my pre-op diet on Friday which is going well so far. Looking forward to sharing my journey with all of you and hearing about your experiences along the way. Here's to making positive changes!
