Hi Michelle! I recognize your name :) Right on with the 100lbs. Keep on going with the last 25lbs. I found my last 25 were the hardest. Here's hoping yours are easier to get rid off then mine :)

I had never been for surgery before this one. I was so scared too!!!! I remember lying on the table waiting for the anaesthetist to do his stuff and saying to him, you better put me under before I get up and run away. No matter how scared I was at the time, I cried all the way to the OR, I will never regret getting this surgery :)

Thanks Michelle, I am but I'm also a little bit scared to be truthful. Its a big step and last time I had a surgery, things went wrong. I'm not a fan of hospitals but accept them as necessary.

Hi Mike! It is awesome that you are going thru the Alberta program. Any program is better than no program :) and I've never heard anything about bad about Alberta. Good for you on losing 65+lbs! You must be getting really excited to get a surgery date. I remember when I got mine I was bouncing off the walls.

I'm Mike and I live in Winnipeg. I'm enrolled in the Alberta Bariatric Surgery program as I did not meet the criteria for Manitoba's program at the time of referral. I too have some mobility issues and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. I've lost 65+ lbs since being accepted in Edmonton and am expecting to get my surgery date next week.

Its great to connect with other bariatric patients here in Manitoba... Hi to all!

Happy Canada Day!!

Hi Linda! Congratulations on the 100lb drop! I know that I could never have lost 100lbs without my surgery. It is nice to meet you :)
