Hi and welcome

I am new here too! I only know of the support group that Carla (at jubilee hospital) told me about and it's at jubilee hospital and one at the Vic Gen Hospital. Ask her if she has any contacts upisland? Or check with your GP?

Support is crucial!

Good luck :)

Hi Kim

Thanks so much for replying!! Yes I started my liquid diet on Nov 4....two weeks in and man it is hard! I have basically worked and stayed at home as can't deal with temptations right now.

I'm also feeling nervous!!! I'm sure it's normal to feel this way. I'm so scared but excited for the change. I'm tired of being this way and want my new life!!!

I would love to stay in touch and we can support and guide each other on the process with you being a week ahead of me lol!

talk soon I hope :)

Hello there,

I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery for Dec. 16, in Victoria B.C.  I am looking for a support group from somewhere in the malahat to Ladysmith range.

Congratulations on being so close Catherine!

My sleeve is November 26th in Victoria with Malik and I live in West Vancouver. Have you started the liquid diet yet or would that be tomorrow? I wasn't feeling nervous or apprehensive until I started the pre-op diet. It really is happening and even though I've waited for 4 years, it feels like time is going quickly now. I'd be more than happy to connect with you an navigate through this process together:)

Good luck!

Kim

Hello all

I looked at this forum a while back and never registered but as my surgery date approaches I realize how much support I need from people who are going through or gone through this!!!

My surgery (Sleeve) is Dec 2. I start liquid diet next week! I'm excited, scared, nervous and every emotion in between!!!!

I look forward to connecting with fellow BCers especially those in Victoria :)

Thanks

Catherine
