Hi Shelly,
It's Diane here.... you know that I had surgery with Dr. Nohr too (March 08).... still lost some lbs after 1 yr mark.... 115 lbs for you, congratulations!!!
I put out a post to ask for recommendations for a surgeon for my young niece here in Wpg who is interested in WLS. Someone from Alberta said to me " well surgery is just one part of it, don't you have a Weight Wise program available" (not sure exactly what that is and who pays for it). I am really so happy about having the surgery but the reality here in Manitoba is that we have nothing!!!! We can have our travel & surgery paid for but that's it. No pre-op care, no nutritional or psychological counselling. No post-op care, no support groups, no real access to nutritional or psycho supports (with someone who is aware of WLS). So we have to do it on our own. THIS IS NOT FAIR.... OTHER PROVINCES HAVE SUPPORT GROUPS, FOLLOW UP WITH THEIR SURGEONS AND NUTRITIONIST, ETC
Again, we have to do this on our own, for some of us it might work and others have to give it our best shot. For me, I am surviving, no bread, no junk food, no desserts, right now I can do it, not sure how long, I don't believe I will dump with a high sugar intake.
I have no answers but just wanted you and the others here struggling... you are a fighter, keep it up... we here in Manitoba are survivors (look at our winters). Maybe some day we will get the supports in our province -- the WLS surgeons, the nutritionist, the counsellors, the support group so we can really fight this battle with obesity!!
PS You think I was a religious person....lol.... SHELLY, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!!
