Topic: RE: Info session for summer 2012
Yes it is really sad that the NS goverment doesnt realize that funding the obesity network would overall help NS's medicare and healthiness of Nova Scotians.
What is even more discouraging is the bitterness some have towards the Obesity Network in that some had done some damage to it with their "complaints" making things slow down a bit more ...adding to the longer waitlists....things slowed to a hault last year with only one info session. (this is of my opinion being in the wlp last year and feeling the delays of things). It's nice to see things back on track and the team pushing what they can do, to help all that are on that long list. Hopefully the good stats of those in the wlp can encourage the government to give more funding.. so there can be more surgeries in NS.

I really did enjoy our get together. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Topic: RE: Meet and Greet in Greenwood/Kingston Area
We had a small coffee get together and chatted about our surgeries to a lovely lady leaving in 2 days for Mexico for surgery. We will likely get together again. If you are in our area and are interested in joining us for coffee and chat PM me or friend me and let me know. Support is key in success.

If you flip over to the NB forums you'll see where there's a woman from ch'town going for VSG surgery on may 10th and another who had it February 14th (both in NB). I'm not aware of any support groups but there are starting to be enough of us to probably start getting acquainted. I only have my appt for my initial consult so far. It looks like it typically takes about 9 mos from the first call to surgery - I'm anticipating surgery in February.

There is still a GNC in town, and I have to head to Shoppers this afternoon anyway to do my passport picture, so I'll have a look for the Isopure. That's too funny that you lived in Freetown, a good friend of mine lives just up from the old Ultramar station, and I used to have one of my horses at a place on the Campbell Rd. Small world!

I only used the isopure for the first week, while on clear liquids. I found isopure and protein water at my locat Shoppers Drug Mart. But check around at health food stores or GNC. Is there still a GNC in the Mall in Charlottetown? I can't remember. I moved here to NS from just outside of Summerside in Freetown.
