My Surgery Date is Booked for Feb 24!

Very excited and most definitely NERVOUS!

How very exciting for you!  You can do this - I know you can!  Keep us updated on your progress.

I'm so happy for you!

AntonellaN74,

It is normal to be nervous.  Any surgery is not a decison that is taken lightly.  Just think of the new weight loss journey your are about to begin!!

Keep up with the posts on the forums.  All the people on here are very honest and do not mind sharing their experiences with their own weight loss surgeries.
 

 

Right on!
Very pleased and excited for you...how long was your wait?

Went in for Consult and then booked surgery!  I am getting it done at the False Creek Surgical Center and it is self pay!

I do not know much about this center.  Do you know many WLS surgeries have they done... I heard that they are new to weight loss surgery. 
Is your Dr a Biariatric Surgeon or a General Surgeon and has he/she done many of your type of surgery? All very important things.
As a nurse, I know that I made sure that I have an extremely experienced Biariatric surgeon who has done many, many surgeries with an excellent sucess rate.
I think that everyone is responsible to do their own checking (it is your life) and not just rely on information from whichever doctor/hospital/clinic they attend. 
 

I think their first surgery was done in September 2009 and it has been a success ever since.  They made me feel warm and welcomed when I went for both the seminar and consult!  I got to meet with the surgeon, nutritionist and therapist!  I even met some of their clients while waiting and many are here on the forum!  Good luck with your decision!

Looks interesting. 

I take it that you are having a Band.  I am sure that you will be very happy with it as I have heard good things about the band. 

Wishing you an easy time and great results!

I wish you all the best on your journey.  Let us know how things go for you.
