    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!
