All the Alberta girls

Hey there,

I am from northern Alberta, looking for some other Alberta ladies to join.

I am still pre-op but that will change in 18 days! I am very excited but apprehensive all at the same time.

    Hi! I'm from Calgary, although I just had sleeve surgery a week ago in Medicine Hat. I'd love to cultivate a good support group, online or in person.

I'm from Chestermere and have surgery scheduled for July 11 in MX. Very nervous and excited. Would love to get an online support network started.

Hey Camper-girl,

Your surgery date is close and I just wanted to wish you good luck. Let us know how things go.

I'm in Hinton. My sleeve was May 14/14.

Be well during your surgery. Try to get up and walk if your able. It helps get the gas out. Take the pain meds - it helps

Hi all,

I'm from just outside of Edmonton and would love to chat with some of you. I have not made the decision for sure weather or not to do this. I have struggled for 35 years to lose and maintain but always gain back and more. If I continue this way I know I will suffer the consequences soon. I don't qualify for surgery in alberta because I'm not heavy enough so I'm considering going to Mexico. I'd love to hear more from people who have actually gone to Mexico and your experience.

Hey Shastasmom....I am going to Mexico later this month for surgery. Im going to the OCC, I have three friends who were sleeved there with awesome results.

I am currently in Eagle Pass, TX on what is the eve of my surgery. Being picked up tomorrow at 730 am and taken over to Piedras Negras, MX for my surgery with Dr. Alvarez. Pretty nervous but know that everything will be fine and this is the best thing to do for me and am looking forward to this wonderful journey.

I was sleeved on June 29th in Guadalajara, Mexico. So, only 12 days post- op, but feeling happy I did it.

Hi everyone

I'm in Calgary. I am pre-op. I'm going through A Lighter Me for Gastric Sleeve surgery on August 24, 2014 in Tijuana.

Those of you who have already had the surgery, any pointers for us Albertans?

Thanks
