Hey there, I am currently 8 days post op... Surgery was June 2. I am very happy to report all is good... Pain/discomfort all but went away days ago. Heart burn was my only real pain and that has subsided a few days ago as well!! Best of luck to all the rest of the June sleevers! See you on the sleeved side

I go for my sleeve on Monday!!! And yes Bill is amazing! He when responding to all my emails even over Easter weekend! I was talking to Bill today and he said that the clinic is offering plastics along with dental the name of the clinic changes to Pompeii surgical! I will be looking into there plastics surgeon in a year or so!!

I am June 2 and found out today I am the only one scheduled for Monday, so my hopes of meeting some new sleevers are gone

Me too, I can let you know how it goes

So I am 1 week pre-op and even though I have researched and have everything together and packed (yes I am one of those) I still don't know if I am ready the excitement has subsided and now nerves are kicking in Please tell me i am not the only one that is all nerves

I am also getting sleeved but June 2. Welcome!!

Jump on the sleeve boards. This is the Bypass board and our journey is a bit different. This is the sleeved board

I am also a June 2 sleever!!! The count down is on!

I am in Fort Mcmurray!!

My surgery is June 2 that gives me 2 weeks of pre-op. What is everyone one doing to stay on track? I am lucky that my pre-op does include food, everything high Protein + shakes. Love to hear from any of you Camper girl

Hey there, I am from northern Alberta, looking for some other Alberta ladies to join. I am still pre-op but that will change in 18 days! I am very excited but apprehensive all at the same time.

I dream thin which is weird cause even before kids and Any weight issues I had major body imagine issues and saw myself 4+ sizes larger... Can't wait to dream thin, and be thin

I know I have picked out some dresses that I am in love with and I hope I can get them altered... I think my issue mainly is that it is hard to find clothes that I like, fit properly and feel great in. But maybe by then time I want to wear them I will find something equally cute. I know I will have big girl syndrome because I already have a off sense of what my size is. Actually I always have.

Kindle, I am wondering what you did in the airport while you waited? I am arriving around the same time as you and have opted to be picked up there several hours later instead of getting a hotel room. Were you able to rest? Did you just keep your self busy?

I am not a lot of help but i am going June 2 with Dr Q

I have a couple all happened in a 2 week span: i had a friend that asked me where my wedding rings were, if my marriage was ok... I kept telling her everything was fine... She kept pushing and I finally had to tell her that I was too fat to wear them... She stopped prying Going to my grandmothers funeral and the first words my Aunt said after not seeing me for 20 yrs (after 3 babies) wow never thought you would have gotten so large you were always so petite and athletic ... It was brutal, I almost didn't go in the first place because I knew I was the only person in my family that has gained so much weight. And I was ashamed My mother having 7 strokes( at one time) all related to her unhealthy lifestyle. 25 more days and It's my day!!!

Well... With recent events I am now travelling alone again, but at least she is upset about the surgery, just when I am having it.

I am also June 2!!! I am dying with anticipation, i get that this is surgery and all but i am but looking forward to it all being over... I have never had surgery before so all of it unknown and pretty much scaring the jeepers out of me. I am most looking forward to hopefully shopping in regular bra stores (i am currently a H/I cup)... There are 3 choices in my town a white, black, nude coloured bras. To be able to where clothes with button's To be able to sit in a on the ground and not struggle to get up Maybe just maybe want to go clothes shopping, cause I currently or shop to cover my body

My surgery date is june 2... I am going to Mexico to have the procedure... I was approved here in Alberta but later was told that because of my bmi and not having any co morbidities i would be on a list for 18-24 months. I am from Fort mcmurray Alberta, all my in-laws live in Sooke so I go to victoria every year! Very lucky gal

Thanks for all the words of wisdom. I finally decided to tell my mother. With promise that she won't tell any one till after the surgery. She did have some questions but more like how I decided or why so soon. Also getting a little upset that I would have even thought not to tell her. AND she has decided to come with me! She had gone to Mexico for a tt lipo, boob job and a full set of venere's (sp?) she went alone and I was upset, mind you in my mind her surgeries where much more involved. And she doesn't come out of anathesgia (sp?) well Either way she has been told, and I now have a travel companion!! My mom says it's paying it forward, I have cared for her thru 8 surgery recovery now it's her turn.

My surgery is June 2 and I haven't started my liquid diet yet... I have been told to start 2weeks before. I have tried doing shake diets in the past, and I can honestly say... They are brutal... I am not looking forward to my pre op stage... Mine you my pre op includes food food, pretty much high protien low carb, low fat, no surgar kinda diet. I guess every surgeon is different. Where are you getting yoyur surgery done?

Hey hey!! You got it working! I also agree it seems much easier to get insurance to pay for barriactic surgery in the states

Love to join it also!!

I am also from Fort mcmurray!

Hey there, I have a dilemia, I am ready to have my surgery.. June 2 I will be sleeved!!! And I am travelling alone. I have been debating this for a very long time.. Like 5 years long.... Been the "fluffy" sister/friend/daughter/cousin/inlaw for the last 15years. problem is I don't know how to tell anyone I am having the surgery, let alone having it done in Mexico. Which I am completely fine with. I want to tell someone, anyone cause this is a big life altering event , and kinda scary, (regardless of where I have it done)and I would really love to talk to someone, even would love to have my mom come with me, as she told me she would if I was having a tummy tuck (cause she beleives it is all in my head and it is just a matter of will power). Has anyone dealt with this with a positive outcome? or should I just resolve that it would be better to have it done and just tell them about it after the fact?
