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

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.

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!!

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
