I think there are some groups on Facebook, you just have to seArch it.

From the time my family doc put a referral in to Dr Sampath ( surgeon) I waited 1 yr, seen Sampath nov 2012 did all the tests, appointments at the wellness center and then surgery may 30, 2013! So 6 MONTHS. Sleeve and bypass are the only weight loss surgeries covered by MSP ( medical).

I am from BC had my surgery in BC, I was provided with lots of support systems out here, was sleeved here in Richmond BC . The wait isn't as long as getting it done in Victory BC! Just remember people..... 2 week pre op seems hard, can be difficult and yes you may be hungry BUT just because you think if you can't do this you shouldn't have surgery that's isn't true! Pre op is still with your normal, stretched used to be full tummy, you have to shrink it and your liver. You most certainly CAN and deserve surgery because you will then be dealing with a " new" stomach smaller, holds less, a new and different full feeling. It is a new start, new beginning to eating and learning experience and journey! Good luck to you all Chillyprincess4 on myfitnesspal

Hopefully we are all a bunch of LOSERS! Lol Me personally age 39 ( if that even matters) 5'5 tall ( also hope to grow taller in the journey) Highest weight 336 Lbs Surgery date weight 328 Current 291 lbs I was sleeved on may 30, 2013 So that's almost 8 weeks post op, on normal food now and have some cool quirks since surgery, the body can be so Amazing. How are you all doing??

Good luck! I am not in Edmonton but wish you luck on your journey. I am from Bc and was sleeved may 30, 2013 and this whole process and surgery will change your life!!

I thought we were not allowed gum? I thought after surgery there was no gum because it lets you suck in more air Same is not using a straw or is that maybe only. While you're recovering ?

Dreamingofhealth did/ are you having surgery down here? Who is your surgeon ?

Any British Colombians that want to at each other to MyFitnessPal? I need food and exercise motivators! chillyprincess4
