I have been on a waiting list for a consult about 8 months now with no consult date in sight :( I was also told that it will be 3 years before I can have the surgery here so I have made the decision to get my sleeve done in Mexico. Anyone who has done the same I would live to hear from you.

Hey Celine,

Thanks for responding! I actually live in Luskville (10 minutes past Aylmer). :). I would love to talk to you to get details of your experience. If you are up to answering some questions, let me know via email (dianesleeve22@gmail.com)

Glad to know your experience was a great one. It is encouraging for me.

Just had my sleeve surgery at Ottawa Hospital 2 weeks ago. Very good experience overall, but having a few issues adjusting to the new diet. Some foods just seems to go down a whole lot easier than others, so just wondering if anyone else out there has had similar issues because it seems hard to even eat one scrambled egg now and the whole pureed diet thing I find kinda disgusting.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
