Edmonton Alberta- Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve in Mexico and totally would not change it for the world. It was coming I the point for me where it was my life or my love for food and I choose my life !! Totally would recomend any of my friends and or family to go to Mexico for the sleeve. The best hospital I have ever been to very clean the staff was absolutely amazing and the surgeon was AMAZING !! Made me feel very comfortable and reassured me when I was freaking out before I went into the or. People have their own thoughts about going to Mexico for surgery but litterally the surgeons are very trained and up to date with all the new procedures out there. Where ever u decide to get it done just please do ur research of the surgeon and the facilities ur going to. Keep your eye on the prize !! Is the motto I live by ;)

Hi everyone, I live in Lethbridge and am just beginning this journey. I will be going to Mexico, on a self-pay program through WLF (weight loss forever) and am pretty excited about it. This is early stages for me, no surgery date booked yet. Great to see others having such success - its helps me to know that this is the right decision. Thanks for all the positive posts, I'll keep checking in.

Congratulations! I had my surgery 11 days ago in MX and I don't regret a thing. The first few days were tough but it got better. I am so happy that I am changing my life.

I hope everyone is doing great! I am feeling awesome! I am down 85lbs in total and 55 since my surgery on August 15. I haven't had any issues other than learning to stop eating when I am satisfied. I have pushed it a few times and paid dearly for that every time. How is everyone else doing?

I am 7 pounds to my personal goal of 135. Dr goal 165 -170. To date ive lost 128 pounds it seems surreal. Yesterday at post op I acheived a great nsv...finally a normal healthy bmi. From severe morbidly obese. Its a victory for myself. So happy we are all enjoying success.

Goal achieved!

Congrats! What a great accomplishment! You must be feeling and looking fabulous :)

I live just north of Red Deer and I had my surgery on July 3, 2012 in Mexico. Had I known there was somewhere to get it done here in 6 months, I would have chosen that. My BMI was just shy of 40. I started at 227 and am now at 171. My goal is another 34 pounds and then I am at the top of the normal range for BMI. I want to reach this by May 22 as that is my next appointment date with the plastic surgeon to discuss my surgery date for a breast reduction. That's basically 2 pounds a week and I don't think its realistic. I lose slow, 1.5 a week on average. Maybe I'll have to reschedule :(

Anyway, nice to meet some fellow Albertans :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
