Vancouver, BC buddy wanted



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My name is Leann, I am 38 years old and I live in Surrey,BC. I am just starting out on this journey and would love to have someone to talk to or go through this with a buddy. I have a consult next week at Puget Sound Surgical in Bellingham and am hoping to have surgery end of April.

Is there anyone else out there from the lower mainland going through this process or have gone ahead of me,I would love to connect.

Llcourage@shaw.ca

Thanks,

Leann

Hi Leann, my nameis Sheila and I live in Calgary, and I too am just starting this journey. I have had my first 2 consults, I have had my Endoscope and I am about to have my pysch evaluation. I am hoping to get my surgery date as soon as my pysch eval is over. I don't think it will be until June at least, but at least I will know when the date it.

I would be happy to be your buddy. My husband has family in Vancouver so we make trips there often. We can exchange either email address and/or phone numbers so we talk.

My email address is sheila.pinkney@shaw.ca If you would like to email me we can get to know each other better.

Anyway, think about it, and let me know

Sheila

Hi,

I have never been to a support group, maybe we could go together sometime. We also have family here from out of town and heading for vacation tomorrow. I will touch base with you when we get back.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
