Hi, Carla from Moose Jaw here. Its storming here and I'm looking forward to getting on a plane to Mexico tomorrow night. Surgery is Wed. The liquid diet wasn't bad, a few weak days but I think I'm ok now. I've lost 22 lbs on pre-diet. Tomorrow i start 2 days of Clear Liquids. Have a great day!:thumbup1:

Hi Carla,

You must be so excited - such a short time left before you get out of the snow and start your new journey to weight loss.

What Doctor is doing your surgery and where?

Don't forget to let us know how you are getting along. I haven't booked anything so I'm really curious about what everybody else is doing!! Living through everyone else's surgery and recovery until the day I have my own done. Take care,

Nancy

I didn't buy any extra insurance either, I just went with my out of country coverage through my work health care plan... I didn't need to use any of it anyway!

Good luck on your journey!

I'm 13 days out now and 24 lbs down, it's starting to slow a bit these past couple of days, I feel the dreaded week 3 stall coming on!!!

Hi Carla,

I noticed that Dr. Joya set up the complications fund ($500). I haven't seen many posts from people that had the sleeve with Dr. Joya, but I have watched some youtube and the hotel you recover in looks awesome.

Please take lots of pictures and share all the details.

Hello!

I am also a patient of Dr. Amson. I live in Surrey, BC. I have been waiting it out these last 4 years. When I went to see Dr. Amson in September I got a DATE!!! I could not believe it. I go to Victoria for surgery Nov.18th for the vertical sleeve.

It is a long wait, so you must be patient. Some days you get so frustrated but eventually your day will come.

We'll have to keep in touch.

Angela:smile1:

Hi Angela,

How did things go with you in November? I am your neighbor in Langley with a VSG date in March in Mexico. I'd love to hear from you. Sandy

I am meeting up with a someone |i met on here in PV for a visit-I'm very excited about that. WE leave tonight at 4am for the plane in Regina and straight to PV. Clear liquids today-should be interesting! Take care everyone!

Thanks BigDD! I think it is a great start too!!

I'm prepared for the stall because I've read so much about it, no worries, I KNOW it will come off after my body says "Hey, I guess she's NOT starving, OK I'll stop holding on to everything now!" :001_tongue:

Uuuum, Nancy.... What chat room??? Hahaha! How can you tell I'm a newbie!!:blink::confused1:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
