First Post! I've been researching from the background for months

Just wanted to say hello. I've been reading the forums for months now and finally officially joined. In particular I've been reading VSG and the Ontario forums.

Tomorrow I start my two weeks of liquid diet pre op. That will cause a withdrawal headache I sure. Been there, done that, several times before. I've previously lost weight and gained it all back +10. So I have decided I need a new tool in my bag of tricks to be permanently successful. I'm feeling ready to move forward from my lifelong weight battle.

I will be having VSG on Aug. 23, 2017.

Thanks to all who post and reply here in the community, it has been very helpful and useful. Well wishes for everyone in all stage of their journey.

Hello Bojangles,

I had tried earlier to reply to your post and was getting an error message. I am sure all those that liked your post was getting the same error. It's fixed now and Welcome!

Great it's fixed! We can welcome you again!!!

Congrats ... where is your surgery!! I too need the VSG!

Good Luck! How long did it take from your referral? Where is your surgery booked?

Hi Bojangles, welcome!

How exciting that you start your pre-op diet tomorrow! Congratulations!

Good luck!! You must be so excited. I, too, have lost and gained back the weight. For all the weight I have lost through the years, I should be a size 2!!!

What centre are you at? How long did it take from orientation session to your surgery date?

I went through the medical program two years and learned much about healthy diet and exercise. I still gained back the weight. I have lost 30 plus with the help of my family doctor and naturopath and exercise class. I have been registered for the surgery program and waiting for orientation date session.
