Vicki, mine is January 6 and I am scared too. But I keep reminding myself of the consequences of NOT doing the surgery. My back hurts, my knees hurt, I am not enjoying life like I should be. I want that better life! Remind yourself of all the reasons you are doing this when you get scared. :)

2biglamb curious about something. Does your provincial health cover your surgery here in alberta or do you have to pay? I was soooo happy to learn our alberta health care covers it now. I was going to self pay in great falls Montana at around $15000.

Manitoba health is covering it!!! They are also covering my travel which ever form I chose! I am flying it not only gets me there sooner but I will feel safe with tonnes of people around. I could drive but it would be all by myself for a 12 hour drive.

I looked into the sleeve and it was supposed to cost me $16,000 and I would have to fly to Toronto on my dime. I could have waited and had VSG here in winnipeg but it would mean surgery in late fall of 2014. I just want to start my journey already!

What does your pre-op diet consist of? I start my second week on it tomorrow. It is a lot harder than I expected! I have lost 13 pounds in 6 days. I have been dreaming about food at night. Lol!

      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.

      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...
