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'm so pre-op it's sad
But I had my first appointment with my doctors weight lose nurse and she said she thought I was wonderfully informed (thanks to this forum haha) and prepared. She approved me for referral and sent it in. I'm hoping to go in for evaluation at the hospital ASAP.
Just wanted to share my news and see if any people in Edmonton Alberta recently sleeved or in the process could tell me what their wait times were from first appointment to surgery date.
Yippee! On my way to a better 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 ?

So went out for dinner with the family, my son chose Red Robin. I had Water with lemon, a bite of my hubby's cheese stick, 1 fry, and 2 bites of my moms whiskey chicken wrap ( yum)...... i was done! Definitely realize that the food I once enjoyed but was so bad fir me.... Is bad for me!! It causes pain, yucky feeling and just blah. Lesson learned....

I just found out the plastic surgeon is planning in removing part/most of my mons pubis when he does my corset trunkplasty. I thought mine wasn't that bad o_0
I am glad he will be fixing it at the same time, I wouldn't have realized it was a problem until after he removed my big a$$ apron. I haven't seen my va jay jay in so long, I couldn't identify her in a line up!

You can change your calorie goal under edit profile and net calorie goal. :-)

I think of everything in terms of 60-80 ratio. 60-80 oz Water. 60-80 g Protein. and 60-80g carbs. That is what my nutritionist told me to maintain.

I highly recommend the doctors in Richmond BC.

I had my sleeve done last November (Nov. 14, 2011) with Dr. Sampath.
From my first appointment with him until my surgery date it was 5 and a half months. I do believe the wait time to get into this is about a year now.
Its an extensive program, TONS of support...and support that will last a lifetime.
I can't say enough good things about this program!
AND MSP paid for it all.
I have been going for followups every 3 months, and after a year postop it will go to every 6 months and then every year.
I have lost 105 lbs in less then a year. Amazing results. Excellent support. Can't say enough good things about it!

I also Had my operation me 30th as of today I am down 15 pounds I am averaging a pound a day that I am losing. But since the start of my two week pre-op diet till today I am down 24 pounds. I'm hoping once i can be more active the weight will come off quite quick.

Just save the crazy sex swing stuff until your internal stitches heal..then it is ON!!!!

I'm just across the border from you in Abbotsford. I have Dr. Landerholm for my surgeon at Puget Sound surgical. When was you surgery? I'm on tuesday

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Since starting my pre op diet May 16 to today June 6 th, i am down a total of 19 pounds!! In the 1 week since surgery I am down 7 pounds...... So about a pound a day. Not sure if this is normal or not but I am happy so far with this progression.

I hadn't had a BM 2 days prior to surgery then 3 days in hospital then 2 days home.... Finally ! Pretty horrid you are right but feel much better and hope I doesn't continue.
