Hi other BCers

I'm 47 year old mother of two. I started dieting at 315 a year ago in Jan. I'm 5'4. With the support of Dr Lyons after a year of banging my head against the wall (dieting and feeling like I was starving) he referred me to the bariatric team in Richmond. I had the sleeve done 5 days ago . I was so worried about this but now I know it's the best thing I could have done. I've lost 12 pounds

So far and only see good in the future. Do anyone of you go to the support group at St Joseph's? It's nice to hear and share stories!

Hey Micky

Keep me posted when you get your surgery . Are you getting it done in a Richmond? Ask any questions you need to. I guess I'm becoming an expert.

Hi I'm from Abbotsford and I'm getting my sleeve done on Aug. 11,2014 after a 4 1/2 year wait! I know Dr. Lyon from Medical Weight Management and have been attending his program. With his help I have lost almost 40 pounds in 3 1/2 months. My surgery being done in Victoria, and I could really use some support on this side of the water!

Hi BC sleevers, I had my surgery in Mexico on July 1. Canada Day was to be a celebration in two ways. I am down 32 pounds counting pre surgery diet. I was taken off my high blood pressure medication today. So excited!! It is still a journey and hasn't always been easy and I am only 24 days out. Hope everyone does well and achieves their goals.

Nice to hear from BC people. I'm really enjoying my sleeve but realize that grazing can get you into trouble. So far all has gone well and I'm hoovering around -50lbs this week. I'm down 3 pants sizes. Perhaps we should all meet for coffee in late Aug or Sept - I'm in Vancouver but willing to drive to New West or Surrey. Keep working the sleeve!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
