Thanks Babe, I appreciate the information. Lions Gate Hospital is a long way to go, are there no support groups on this side of the Bridge?

I look at your pictures and I want to cry, I am so overwhelmed. I have been investigating the pro's and con's of getting the surgery but your pictures are worth a thousand words. This is how I want to look, how I want to feel, how I want to live. Thank you.

My endocrinologist has recommended that I consider Lap Band surgery (I weigh 360), and he asked me to check with my extended health carrier if they would cover the cost (nope!). Can anyone give me an idea of how much it would cost me, I live in New West and it sounds like the doctor in Surrey is the closest one but I don't want to go to him for a consultation if this is something I can't afford. I'm new to this site, so hopefully I am posting this right.
