I am about an hour and a half north of Edmonton. Had my sleeve done in Mexicali in December and have not had one minute of regret. Best medical experience I have ever had by far. Just about 80 pounds gone.

I thought I would feel that way too but now I am just hoping there will come a day that I don't have to wear my wool socks to bed .

Hi I am in northern Alberta and looking for sleevers around me to support and advice when I am stuck . I got my sleeve in December of 2014 .70 some pounds down and looking forward to losing more. Does anyone else in Alberta have advice the always cold problem?

@@jacileggs I am in a little tiny village called Fort Assiniboine. About an hour and a half north west of Edmonton and I still have ice and snow on my front yard . I guess being cold is something I will just have to get used to. If this is the worst downfall to the sleeve I will happily accept it.

Can someone reassure me that I will someday be warm again. I live in northern Alberta so being cold is way of life for 7 months of the year but not this cold. I am 4 months post op and down 60 pounds but I still have lots of "insulation" on my body and yet I am sooo cold. Will I ever be warm again?

So happy to see people on here that had their sleeves done the same time as me(december 9th) I have lost 48 pounds. So far it has been so easy except for the water thing. I too am a gulper and loved to stand in front of the water cooler and guzzle 1 or 2 big glasses. I did that once post op and just about threw up. The pain was incredible. But I just forgot that I can't do that any more.So now my little sippy cup is never far from my side. I need to constantly hydrate. This procedure is by far the best decision I ever made, besides marrying my husband.My daughter in law is actually having it done today in Mexico.My only regret is not doing it 20 years earlier. I do get frustrated though, thinking the weight should be falling off faster than it is. Anyone else feel that way?
