Hello,
I am posting this to inform any gay lesbian OH members or Friends  that we have a Forum. If you are interested in checking it out....the direct link is http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/gay_lesbian_bisexual_trans gender/

Thank You  !!!  Hope you stop by....

Thanks Joel,

I can't tell you how much I look forward to the monthly meetings and now I'm so excited about the aquasize classes.  It will be so much fun.

I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Hatfield and loved his presentation.  It was very nice to hear that his clinic really puts a lot of emphasis on maintenance and treating everyone as an individual and preparing plans specifically for each persons needs.  Very refreshing to say the least.

Hey all,

We're back!

SBSSG Private Aquasize Classes are on again at the Dr. Paul Schwann Centre http://www.uregina.ca/dpsc/ at the University of Regina in the SouthEast corner of the Campus!

A place where no one is going to stare at you while you exercise...

Confirmation came in today from Tracy (Our Certified Aquasize Trainer and WLS Patient herself), and we are set to start this Wednesday September 10th, 2008 from 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM.

However, our Communication Director Hilary Dahnke will be there a half hour early to register you at 8:00 PM.

Non-Members pay $7.50/Drop-In and SBSSG Members pay $6.50/Drop-In. Or you can buy a 10 Week Pass for Non-Members and pay $65.00 or become a paid SBSSG Member (http://www.sbssg.ca/index.php?pr=Membership) and pay only $55.00.

So grab your swimsuit and a good attitude and let's  hit the pool for some great private low-impact exercise.

Hi Jules,

Yes the meeting is open to everyone.  Please come, you will be welcomed with open arms.  I have not had surgery with Dr. Kaban but I do know there are a few of us who have had different surgeries in different places and I'm sure folks would be willing to help with your questions if they have the answers and if not maybe able to direct you to some answers.  I'm still new as a post op patient.  I had my surgery on July 13th of this year and I guess everyone's weigh comes off differently....also depending on the type of surgery you have.

Anyway, please come to the meeting..the more the merrier :)...oh and a huge CONGRATS on your weight loss so far, you are doing awesome!!!!!!

Hi there, is this group open to anyone?  I am desperate to find other people who have had bariatric surgery, or who are having it soon, im very nervous about the whole experince.  Dr. Kaban has given me a surgery date of oct 6th, I CAN'T WAIT.  BUT i have so many questions I want to ask other people, like how fast does the weight come off, what can I do to ensure I dont get left with rolls of skin after the weight loos, are there any good exercises that will help.  If there is anyone out that that woul dhave time to chat to me about this, i'd love to hear from you.  My heaviest was 312lbs, and I have got down to 274lbs, but its been a very hard slog.  I cant wait for the day I go under the 200lb mark!!!!!

Jules
