Topic: 3 days post-op
Yay, I did it! My surgery was delayed 1.5 hours which seemed like the longest hour ever. Still in hospital and hoping to get discharged tomorrow. Still a little shy on how much to eat so talking it slow. Each day is getting better with less tubes in me!!

Topic: First Time - Just Got a Refferal From the doctor

I'm new here and I was just in to see my family doctor today and got the referral to the bariatric unit! I am so nervous and excited, I have read so many inspiring messages. If anyone has anything to share or tell me that would be helpful I would really appreciate it. I live here in Red Deer so would love to talk to other people who have gone through this in Red Deer.

I am not sure about a Facebook group, but they do have a group on here (Obesityhelp) called Edmonton Bariatric Support Group.  Are you a member of this group?  You could maybe get additional information...

Hey Everyone,

If any of you are on the face book group, could you please ask whoever it is that approves members to please please please approve me? I've requested to join multiple times since mid February, and still nothing.

A few of the ladies from my classes are on that, and I'd love to connect with them!

Thanks :)
