I'm Losing My Mind !!! Any Albertans out there with VSG?

[Erin92 4]

Woohoo! Go Edmonton.

I do not have any regrets, even though I had a rocky recovery, I would do it again because I am going to live a long and healthy life!

Hi fellow Edmontonians!!! Well, i'm from St.Albert, but close enough! I'm 3 weeks out from Surgery. Got it done by dr.almanza. I'm currently at a stall...and it's making me very unhappy. Anyway, glad to see other fell Edmontonians here! I wish everyone the best of luck and much health in their weight loss!

I am from Lloydminster Alberta and was sleeved on August 28/12. Best decision I have ever made. I had just finished a little battle with breast cancer and the chemo had eaten away at the arthritis in my knees. They ached everyday and that was the final straw. I researched a lot and found a Canadian owned company with an award winning surgeon that is the top in her field. The company is based out of Saskatoon and has a few offices across Canada, it is called Weight Loss Forever. Dr. Liza Marie Pompa was my surgeon. My experience was amazing, I actually wish I could get my reconstructive surgery done in Tijuana at the LIMARP Hospital. I am 3 months out and down 70 pounds and only 20 pounds away from my goal. Best part is that my knees don't hurt anymore.

I'm from airdrie and was sleeved 28th May in Tijuana by Dr Valenzuela. I feel great!! Lost 19lbs since day of surgery and haven't had any issues. Not sure whether my family Dr will treat me if I do have any as he wasn't on board when I mentioned that I was thinking of having this done. I'm so pleased that I did though!!!!

Hi Kiwi63

Congrats on your decision in almost 3 months out and don't regret it for a moment!! I'm sure your doctor with treat you if need be - I haven't been to my family doc about te surgery and have had absolutely no issues. I went through AHS and had my surgery in Red Deer great team there for sure!! Keep me posted on your progress and if you need anything. Maybe we can meet one of these days - because I haven't been able to find any support group or anything here
