I was sleeved on 1/21 un the US and will be moving to Vancouver in June 2013 with my family. I am looking for recommendations for a surgeon to work for follow up and also support groups. Any recommendations?
Our next meeting will be on Thursday February 7th, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
at Mt. St. Joseph's Hospital in Vancouver. Enter through the Prince Edward Street
Entrance, and the take the elevator to 1 floor, turn left and we meet in Sister Germaine Roy conference room.
This meeting is open to preops, postops,spouses/partners and support people and anyonelooking into having weight loss surgery.
I am asking for some feedback on our meetings, as we have not had a lot of people coming to the meetings in the last little while. So I'm asking everyone what do you need from the meetings, and also if there is something we are doing at the meetings that you don't like please let me know so we can change things so that everyone gets what they need out of the meetings.
If anyone wants to let us know how our group meetings can be more successful
please let us know what you need, and what you don't like about the meetings, we want these meetings to be for support and it will be successful if we are told what we need to do to help make it more successful.
Thanks,
Suzanne

I can help you get surgery in a short amount of time and for a very affordable cost. I had mine 10 mths ago and am doing fabulous. I am in Alberta, you can email me at [email protected] if you would like details.
If you are tired of waiting for surgery in Canada, I can link you up with a super fantastic clinic that I went to in Tijuana who can do your surgery fairly quickly , , at a fraction of the cost of here and the 2 surgeons are fantastic. My email is [email protected]

Newer to the site, and came on today to get some informaiton prior to my first appointment on Thursday, January 10/ 2013 with Dr. Nam Nguyen at West Coast Bariatric. Soooooo disappointed to see that many of the above posters have waited sooooo long to have their surgery. I assumed that because it was private pay it would be rather swift.
Asked for a referral: 1st: 2007 to Dr. Amson/ November 2012 for Dr. Nam Nguyen
Appointments: December 2009 for Dr. Amson/ January 10, 2013 for Dr. Nam Nguyen
BMI: 52.4
Co-morbidities: PCOS, Diabetic
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 357lbs
Surgeon: Dr. Nguyen West Coast Bariatric
Just wondering more on what the process is they put you through following your initial appointment. More Specialists & Assessments? Lose weight? Diet/ Exercise?
I've been trying to get pregnant for over five years and I am running out of time. I'd like to get this moving sooner rather than later.
