Newbie, but an Oldie to WLS...
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this website (well, I was here 3 yrs ago, but dropped off for a while). Well I'm back and this time I'd like to get together with some new faces who live in my area (Halifax, Nova Scotia). If you're pre, post-op or just considering the options, feel free to send me a note.
I had VBG 19 years ago, and my journey still continues on. I've gained and lost over the years with a maintain at goal for over 10 years, until I had children. .....Yep, they do it to you everytime! LOL Ohhh, the scale stories I could tell! LOL
Right now, I've gone back-to-basics, and relearning how to use my pouch as the tool it's there for. So far, so good. I've lost 20lbs since August and 5 inches off my hips, so this surgery still works for some. I know there was a 90% failure rate with VBG, but I'm going to fight the battle every step of the way, and finish my journey with SUCCESS! I also attend my Goodlife Fitness centre 5 days/wk for a 1 hrs cardio workout followed by 30min strength training 3 times per week and also throw in a Zumba & Yoga class at first chance.
Feel free to say hi, and introduce yourself. You can read my full story on my profile.
Take care, and be in touch soon!
Coreena xoxo

Hi Coreena, welcome back. Glad to meet you. Sounds like you are doing all the right things to get you back in shape.
I myself just got approved by the "team" Now I just have to wait for my visit with Dr. Elesmere in the near future. Can't wait for that.
Anyway glad you will be sticking around. There is a lot of people on here from Halifax and truro area. I am sure you could find someone here to buddy up with.
Take Care.
