I have a appt with Dr. Daveys in Edmonton,Ab for May 2013. I was wondering if AHC pays for all procedures or only the cheaper ones. Also My GP says that they will now do the procedure to remove loose skin. Has anyone had AB Health Care do this for them, again is it restricted in costs. Also after first consult with dr. How long of a general wait before surgery. Do u have to prove u r self with a diet plan or how does it happen. Please someone I have many questions and cant wail til May til hear what is about to happen to me. Thanks for listening?

Are you alright? We don't have any news from you since the surgery :)

I asked for you, but we weren't in the same unit, so to much work for them to find you!

For sure! My daughter and I like the Roadside Lemonade if blended with water and lots of frozen strawberries, but none of the other fruity ones. Well, the creamy fruity ones like Orange Cream are good mixed into my morning coffee.

They don't work for me either! I have a container of the Fuzzy Navel to give to a good Calgary home too! There is definitely a lot of waste as we settle into our altered taste buds!

I had my VSG done in Mexicali last June, had an excellent experience, an easy recovery, and have been very happy with my results so far. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Hi I'm was wondering how your procedure went and if you would recommend mt zion? Was the cost only $4500? I do not want to wait years. I would rather pay to.have it done sooner. However I do have a budget. I would like to hear of your experience. Thank you.

I'm kind of afraid of that myself! I feel like my new body shape is pretty tubular... I have very little waist definition. Like even tho the fat is gone, I am straight up and down from my chest to my hips!

Thanks Kee.

My loss has slowed, but I'm still dropping a pretty reliable 5# a month, so I'm super happy.

Good Luck and I'm sure you'll be approved. You look amazing.

I wish I could just go with a panni but my body shape would just look terrible if I did. I would have a hugh muffin top as my upper tummy just wouldn't let go of the weight.
