Hi everybody...I'm...
Hey everyone,
My name is Elena. I'm 35 and living near Gatineau, Quebec with my partner and our little 13 month old son. I'm currently on the waiting list with Dr. Atlas and will also be getting the vsg surgery. I think this forum is an amazing source of support and information, I only wish I had found it a few years ago!
Thanks for getting the Quebec forum moving!

Hello Anne and Elena and a big welcome to both of you.
Yes this forum is fantastic and I can say that I look forward to coming on-line every day to see "what's new"
I think that it's very important to know that other people are going through the same things we're going through in our province and that we can help and support each other along the way.
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day and hope you all have a fantastic week!!
Ciao for now!

I just wanted to say Hi to my 3 new friends (Elena, Stella and Anne) here on OH who have taken charge and presented themselves. This is a first great step to success girls! Welcome to the QC board and thanks for getting it going.
Now, where my boys at? Am I the only guy in QC hoping and wishing for surgery? I don't think so.

Hi everyone.
I"m Cindy, 32 years old. Married, mom of 2 beautiful girls aged 4 and 6. I have been on a waiting for Dr. Atlas since Feb. 2008. I finally got called a few weeks ago for my pre-op blood tests. Martine told me should be before summer. I also had the group meeting with the dietician at the same time.

Hi Cindy,
Welcome to the board. That's great news that you got the call! I can't wait for mine as well. I'm also glad you came out of the woods and introduced yourself. We are trying to get this forum going and the more active people on here the better it will be in the long run.
Welcome! I'm Derek.
hi Cindy - welcome to the forum! I'm happy to see you are getting things started with dr. atlas soon, he's my surgeon as well. So it really was about a 2.5 year wait I guess, but I bet things will move pretty fast now for you! must have felt great to get that call!
i'm wondering, did they tell you how long you would have to do optifast for? I'm really curious about that...I recall being told that because my weight is around 365lbs that i'd be on a liquid diet for 6 weeks prior to surgery.
