Hi all!  I'm new here and I just wanted to say hello.  I have enjoyed browsing around and hearing all your testimonials.  I have been approved for surgery with Dr. Birch in Edmonton.  I have chosen the sleeve.  Anyone else going through weight wise?  I would love to hear from you!

Welcome! I'm just starting with the clinic- go in for my initial assessment on April 28th. Congrats on getting approved for surgery. We'd all love to hear about your journey!

Hello and welcome Relene--I hope you find what you need here. Most on here have been sooo helpful. Many of us have just had the sleeve and had no complaints or problems (none that I have heard of). In fact it is life changing.
Just remember that everyday gets a bit easier after surgery. You learn the limits really quick and the pound start dropping off fast.
You still have to work...but it makes exercise matter
Let us know if you have any questions...I have loved my journey so far
