Hi I;m from Belleville. Have been in classes in Kingston for 18 months now. Getting a bit tried of waiting. I'm hoping to have it done in May. I live down south for the winters and hope thi surgery doesn't interrupt the next season. Will keep my fingers crossed.

Hope you the best for the 22. Who' your surgeron?

Hey I saw on the news that you guys are having some flooding problems.  I hope you are not affected by this.  My Dr is David Lindsay snd I will be going to St. Josephs Hospital in Toronto.  Yes I hope you get your surgery over with before next fall it would be ashame to miss your winter fun.  Where do you go?  We are planning to go to Myrtle Beach next winter for a while.  Looking forward to all this being behind me.  It feels like my life has been put on hold untill I get through this.  We still have quite a bit if snow here so watch out for the water.  :-)    Val

Hi again. Just got back home. 85 degrees in Fl and hit home in a snow storm and 25 degrees. Poor old body will need a lot of adjusting. LOL

Bet you're getting excited    next week is the big day. I'm excited and I'm only seeing the surgeon. 

Will be thinking about you. You have a new part of your life starting. I wish I'd had the surgery done 20 years ago .I 'm 62 in Nov

An old fart but very active. Golf three days a week winter and summer.

Keep me posted.

Gail

Hi Gail hope you had a great holiday!  Yes I am soooo excited I think my heads going to pop off. Lol  dont worry im a 62 yr old fart as well and I say better late then never.  You know we could not have done this 20 years ago because it took us this much time to be totally ready.  Boy im ready.  Im trusting all goes well.  We leave Monday as we are about 6-7 hr drive from the hospital depending on weather and traffic.  Take care and chat again soon.  :-)  Val

Good Morning Val

Hope all went well with your surgery. I've been thinking about you.

I saw the surgeon on Thurs. All went well. A bit disappointed when I

got the surgery date  Sept.23. Oh well I get to golf all summer LOL

Talk  soon

Gail

Gail dont worry it will come before you know it.  Besides it will give you more time to learn as much as you can.  I feel great!  I had such a great experience at St Joesephs in Toronto.  My surgery went very well and I feel so good.  Everything  I have eaten so far I am handling well.  I am home now  and I could not be happier. chat again soon:-)  Val

FANTASTIC    I'm glad everything went well for you. Wish I lived closer so I could come meet you.

Now the real work starts. But the worst is over.

Keep me posted on your recovery or if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

Talk later  Gail

Hi Val

Just wondering how you're doing. This weather sure doesn't help the mood. It's still cold here. My brother goes in the walleye fishing derby every year and that's this weekend. All the guys were just here for Beef Barley soup and homemade bread. They'd been out since five o'clock this morning. They were nearly frozen. But guys will be guys   they went back out and again tomorrow. I stay in the cottage, keep warm and cook for them.  Hope they get fish for dinner LOL

Hope you're doing great  and the pounds are disappearing

Gail

Hey Gail im doing very well my total weight loss is now 50lbs im 12 days post op and I lost my first 5lbs since my surgery.  I was starting to get alittle nervous because I did not lose anything after surgery but I was told by ladies on the site to ignore the scale and just cconcentrate and stick to the plan which ive been doing and today I was down 5lbs.  Had a little bit of a problem in the bathroom area.  Those pain pills really do bung you up.  So thats ok  now. I dont take anything for pain any more.  Wednesday of this next week I start on pureed foods so im waiting to see how that goes.  So all in all im feeling pretty darned good.  How are you doing?
