Hello everyone!

I am one step away from booking my surgery with Dr. Aceves in June! I am wanting to find a GP in Saskatoon that is familar with VSG operation.

Help!?

Not sure if you found one, but Dr. Carl LeRoux is great, but not sure if he is taking new patients.

Thanks!!

Hi ladies,

I have my surgery booked for July 5th in Mexico.

I'm from saskatoon and NOT going thru weightloss forever so I have no support groups to attend or people nearby to talk to about VSG before/after surgery. I'm 31 and a stay at home mom.

Hey! I'm not going through WLF either. I'm heading to Mexico June 24th to Dr. Aceves! I'm 27 and a full time student who works too much . I will talk to you anytime- it seems like its all I want to talk about these days!

I'm going to Dr.Alvarez. I did my research and just found myself feeling comfortable with his credentials, other peoples feedback, youtube posts and the receptionist Susan. I think about it most days to.... Sometimes scared and other times extremely excited. I have a little 18 month old and am worried about how it will be once I get home, since we aren't supposed to be lifting.

My email is jrstein@hotmail.com. I would be more than excited to have someone to go thru this with.... Ups and downs...

Hey I'm from Saskatoon too! I did not go to Dr.Alvarez but he was high on my list! I also read his book which is pretty good. I too did NOT go through WLF and have no support group. I'm 24 working full time.

Hello SKgirl27,

I think support and a listening ear is important. I'm not ready to tell friends yet and most of them have never ever struggled with their weight. I received enough finger shaking from concerned family members that I just want to keep it on the down low.

How's things going so far? I sure wish I could have done this at 24! I definitely would not have been ready tho, so very happy to hear you made such a great decision

Hey Canadagirl! Things are going will for me I am half way to goal! Whoo hoo ! Yea I did not tell my friends or coworkers either.. Only a select few family members know.. I think when people hear "weight loss surgery" they think its "cheating" or something. They don't see the day to day struggle to still loose weight. I agree a listening ear is important I am friends online with another girl who had surgery the same day as me. We have became close comparing our adventures so far lol. So glad to hear though that there are others out there from Saskatoon!!
