Introducing myself

Hello my fellow Albertans/Canadians....I am new to this site.  Was a recommended from my SVG surgeon.  I was sleeved on November 10, 2009 in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves.  I choose to go out of country because I have been waiting forever within our own province.  My experience was awsome with Dr. Aceves.  I was attending the WW program at the Royal ALex.  I am not sure if I am still able to attend any of the remaining modules..still need to inquire about that...anyway...for me it was the best decision I have made.  I just wish I had done it sooner.  I have about 145lbs I need to lose.  I am down 18lbs already. 

I know that any WLS is meant to be used as a tool in weigh loss and lifestyle changes need to be done.  I am wondering if there is a support group that I would be able to join.  I know that one is held with the group from the WW program but I do not know if this open to people who are not in the WW program. 

If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate. 

Hi Jentle--welcome to the AB forum..congrats on your recent weight loss and surgery. You seem to be doing a great job at working your sleeve. I have heard great things about Dr Aceves. Hope you are able to continue the modules.

I believe the support group at the royal alex is independant of the clinic and I am sure you would be welcome.
Keep us posted on your journey
