Where Are All The East Coasters?

I live in Fredericton and have met a few people through OH but I'd very much like to find a support group near by for when I get home from Mexico. I've made friends with a sleevee from PEI but it's a bit of a drive for regular get togethers.

Surely I'm not the only person in my area who subscribes to this site.

Please friend me or message me if you are an east coaster who has been sleeved or are thinking about getting sleeved.

Thanks

I was sleeved June 17.. From St. John's Newfoundland :-)

Hope your recovery is going well! Were you sleeved in St. John's? I'm in CBS and I'm travelling to Mexico in September to be sleeved...CAN'T WAIT to see what my inner skinny person looks like ;)

I'm getting ready for my surgery on October 30th--I'm an Island girl who would love to connect with any other PEI sleevers!

Hi

I am in Halifax. I am being operated here by Dr. Elsmere. I have my pre-surgery clinic appointment today. I am so excited and nervous.

Is there no one from Saint John or Quispamsis on this Forum? :(

I'm from Fredericton as well and will be sleeved by Dr. Boivert here in Freddy. Just waiting for my surgery date!

I'm in Halifax! Definitely looking for connections and support. Local would be great, but it's comforting just knowing there are other East-Coasters out there too! (Sometimes don't you feel like you're the only one???)

Drop me a line if you want to! :)

I posted here on October 8th but I thought I would update my progress. I had the vertical sleeve surgery on April 29 here in Halifax by Dr. Elsmere (what nice man) and I was sent home May 1st after being progressed to stage 3 diet. It's been tough trying to get the liquids they want me to have each day. I understandably have some discomfort when anything hits my stomach. Moving around has not been a problem although the staples in the incisions gross me out LOL. I know things will get better with time :)

I am having my vsg done in Bathurst by dr semerjian. I see the anesthesiologist on November 13! I'd love to have the surgery before Christmas. I am most nervous about the 2 week pre-op only boost and going to work everyday will be hard!

losinforlife - Good luck on your surgery :)

I have been doing great since mine. I have lost 150lbs and have dropped 3 sizes in bottoms and 2 sizes on top (I am self-conscious about my loose flesh so I keep my tops loose).

Is there no one from Saint John or surrounding areas. Closer then Fredericton I mean! :(

Hi there! I am new. From Fredericton NB. Had my surgery done here locally in Fredericton on Dec. 5 2014. I had the sleeve. Its going well so far. Would be nice to have those close by ( maritimes) to chat with or anyone for that matter :)

I live in Saint John. No one has come out around here about having WLS. Glad your doing great! :)

Has anyone dealt with feeling moody?
