Hey Don, thanks so much for getting back to me.  I really do appreciate it.  When did you sign up with the Weight Wise program?  Did you eventually hear from them at all?  I hear so many positive things about the VSG.  I also hear some bad things about the RNY.  I too think that the VSG is the safest way to go.  3 pounds a day???  Do I dare to dream?  And wow...look at you doing this at the age of 64!  You are someone special no doubt.  You traveled abroad as well.  These are big steps and you did them.  To do them at any age can be very difficult but as we get older, things seem a litter harder to do.  I applaud you.  How far out are you from the op?  Are you finding it difficult to eat post op?  Do you ever feel hungry?  Your surgeon was very good?  If so, why?
Thanks so much.

 Hello there my fellow Saskatchewanonian!  So good to 'see' a friendly face.  Thanks for posting a reply.  This is so cool that you tell me that you went to Mexico as this is something that I have considered as the wait times here are so long.  I actually now have an appointment for the bariatric program in Regina at the end of summer but they only do RNY from what I understand.  I feel that the VSG is the superior procedure at least for me.  What was your thought process that led you to Mexico and to the VSG as opposed to here in Sask with the RNY?  I am also on the list for the Weight Wise program in Alberta as they offer the VSG.  They say that I can expect a phone call from them in over a year.  ACK.  I have already been on thier list since Oct/09.  

  So....have you needed any follow up care and if so, where do you get it?  Have you had any problems ?  Would you do it all over again?  Has it been successful?  Has it been hard?  

I am so sorry for all the questions and please only answer those that you are comfortable with.  

Take care and thanks.

 I am certain Sask does bariatric surgery yet I never see anyone posting on here.  Being a person going through the process from a remote area, it would be nice to have some form of support.  Surely there are those of you that have gone through the process that check this board no?  
Sorry if this comes off as somewhat of a complaint, it is just that I would love to talk to some fellow Sask people who have been through the process here and get some of thier wisdom from thier experiences.
Thanks to any and all that post a reply.

 Hey there Billie, did you go for that surgery and if so, how are you doing?  Did everything go well? Are you handling the post op diet ok?  What do you like so far about the experience and what do you like the least?
I hope all is well for you.  Take care.

Hi Everyone!

Please share anything  you can.
