  15. Wow..nice..so how is your journey going? I hear dehydration is a huge concern
  16. Wow...well had i looked harder...i probably could have waited...but 5 yrs in BC is ridiculous and that dr has people from all accross Canada too...making it sound..seem like there was only his business in Western Canada.. Did not want to get the run around here in AB...and $6500 USD is far better than the $18k ive seen. Yes Im in Northern AB ....how else could i afford this...lol TY Getting anxious ..leave tuesday!!
  17. I know another person started a Canadian thread in specific surgery area..but another thread may be helpful...as there are vaying choices...and this is a great place to meet our close neighbours.. btw my name is Yvette...I recently moved from BC to AB...the frustrations of waitlist is undescribable esp after 5 yrs.

  20. Hi..i think i finally figured out this site....First wow and ty for reading my post. My name is Yvette...Im at the most weight ever in my life..ive been trying for yrs to get surgery ..ive recently been on a 5yr waitlist..but now we can afford to pay for it... im po'd some dr just putting things off meanwhile Im 42 and feel im losing "a life" of adventure and fun good health and much happiness. Like the first 39 yrs were traumatized enough... Hey dr..I want to get married...been 18 yrs with my spouse...god knows im lucky to have him be so caring an supportive all these yrs. I want to work and feel that my weight has squashed my hooes if a career. I have a ton of education and cant seem to get a job and when i did have been bullied ir re traumatized at work... i trust no one...so this us a huge step.... but im at that point of discouragement...never have been suicidal..but ill take my chances at a foreign hospital and drs and staff so that i can take back my life...enjoy baseball...skiing...hiking...travelling..oh hey since ill never be a 25 yr old fatish bride...how about a 43 yr od healthy and skinnish bride...I Deseve It!! Ohhh details...lol so i leave on Tuesday from Northern Alberta Canada...fly to San Diego where driver will pick me up..take me to the hotel...next day at hospital for tests and surgery....stay in hosp for 3 or 4 days then hotel for the night or i stay extra night and fly home April 2nd Almost have everything prepared to leave and prepared vitamix soups for when i get home...Is anyone on this site familiar with Ready4aChange...the Florence Hospital ..or Dr. F. Garcia...or perhaps you will be there during same time ad me???
