Topic: 6 month update

I had my 6 months check up with Nooshin (dietician) and she told me that I have lost 74% of my excess body weight! That made me feel really happy.. slowly but surely... My blood work was quite the same.. still a little low in iron , but the Vit D came up .. Hmm a week in Mexico helped! my Phosphorus is high . just a little .
all good at 6 months out...

Topic: RE: Victoria Patient going through the Richmond Surgeons.

Thanks for responding. I gave the office a call today and the girl who answered the phone was not very helpful. She said Ihad to go there to do everything including the 7 week nutrition class. She wouldn't even say anything about wait times to me. She said that there is a wait list of over 700 patients waiting for their first appointment and that she wasn't even going to guess. I asked if she thought it would be less than the 5 year wait here but she wouldn't even say yes or no to that. Thanks for responding.

I did all of my tests here in Kamloops. The only specialists that I had to see down at the coast were Dr. Sidhu and Dr. Zetner.

Topic: Support Group In Surrey Area

Hi Everyone!

Does anyone know of any support groups in Surrey or surrounding area? I am interested in meeting up with fellow surgery buddies and don't know where to look to find out.

If anyone knows could you please respond to this post?

Much appreciated!

Cheers,

Karen

Topic: RE: Stabbing Pain in my left side

Hello!

I am pleased to report that Dr.N told me it was not a hernia!! I was told it was from the stitches pulling a bit and if I have a full bowel it presses up against it. He recommends to get more fluids (like I don't try too!!) and no more bending and straining!!

I really appreciate the response I received from everyone, it makes me know that I am not alone in this journey that I have other people that understand!

Cheers,

Karen
