Thanks Billie.  How far have you come down now?  Last post I saw of yours, you had lost lots.  Apparently they will do the sleeve now in Sask if your a special case.  If there are extenuating cir****tances, and in my case there are.  I do feel very lucky to be able to have the vsg here.  I would not have gotten the rny though as I feel that it would have been suicide for me.  I too, like you, would have went to Mexico had that been my only option. 

I have been approved for the surgery but have not got my date yet.  Now I wait for the phone call and then start a 2 week liquid protien diet prior to surgery.  They have now gotten a 3rd surgeon here in Sask and apparently this last dr. has done quite a few sleeves. 

I think everything will work out great.  Speaking of great, how are you loving your new life? 
Take care.

That is simply amazing Billie. Has it been difficult at all for you? Do you feel like you are dieting or do you eat just about everything? Thanks for the updates and info.

 There is a store in Saskatoon called Nordon Medical,  they specialize in first-aid and medical supplies, and usually carry lots of kinds of braces,  I am not certain what exactly you are looking for of if they would have one but they would be a good place to start.  There is also another place called Schaan's Health care, they also sell a lot of different medical supplies.

Hope this helps.

I only weigh once a month so on Feb4 i have lost another 23lbs for a total of 310lbs. not to bad for only a year...
