when I click on chat above it says the webpage is down, what's with that? -
Any other Canadians out there?

I can't recommend them anymore, their safety record and aftercare is bad especially when things go wrong, Dr Almanza does not go to the recovery house and follow up with people, he is too busy doing surgeries. So if you MUST go, be sure to get out of there if you are having lots of pain, don't wait! Leave and get back to Canada ASAP, and go to emergency and get checked out! Betancourt is not a real doctor, and the housekeepers give shots and remove drains, so no real medical care after your surgery.

Well my dear - I have to admit you were right all along about that place! Sure would love to see it shut down, so many many more leaks and infections and horror stories going on. Congrats on being a size 4! I have one pr of size 8 pants but they are knit and quite a bit of stretch! Most of mine are 10s now tho. I hope to lose more, but like you it won't be the end of the world if I don't!

Well folks been a bit since I last updated you on Linda's progress. She has been at home now for almost 3 weeks as it looked as tho her leak had finally healed there in the hospital. She is off her PTN line (liquid food)- still has her drain in and homecare visits a few times a week to change her dressings for her abdominal wound. However not all is well, she is leaking again, and they are taking a wait and see stance, so I guess they don't consider it serious unless it gets infectious again. She is Tiny Tummy on this site if anyone wishes to cheer her on! Other than that she is happy to be home and in her own bed! Not a lot of energy or strength yet, but losing weight for sure! Two more really recent posts that sound familiar are here: check them out! RollTideRoll's Profile and Prissy4115's Profile they need our parayers for sure!!!

Nikki, I am so proud of you! What a fantastic job, you have been workin' it girl! I know what you mean, I too am looking for that 150 number (I am 157) but it is going slowly for me! I am doing a happy dance here for you too! Cheers, Donna -
That could be why I am losing so slowly, after 8 months out, still only 64 lbs lost since surgery. My hubby is happy with that, says he doesn't want me to lose too quickly. Of course it could be the grazing I sometimes do and the cereals I have been eating as snack food! ahem!! Anyway, feeling like a spring chicken again as I am probably the most senior here at 72! Feel so much younger than I did when I was 244 lbs. (highest weight) and I am walking, working more, have more energy and loving life once again. So goal is being pushed farther away but that is OK with me! Cheers, Donna:thumbup:

Welcome to the weight loss clan, you are never too old to get your health back, and look good again. I am not going to be on this site much anymore, can't handle the owner being bought out by Betancourt and his so called clinic. Such a shame too - so many of us depended on each other for support. My email address for future is stoongal@shaw.ca, talk to me there if you like.
