Hi other BCers

I'm 47 year old mother of two. I started dieting at 315 a year ago in Jan. I'm 5'4. With the support of Dr Lyons after a year of banging my head against the wall (dieting and feeling like I was starving) he referred me to the bariatric team in Richmond. I had the sleeve done 5 days ago . I was so worried about this but now I know it's the best thing I could have done. I've lost 12 pounds

So far and only see good in the future. Do anyone of you go to the support group at St Joseph's? It's nice to hear and share stories!

Hi Everyone. Im from New West.

Im getting my sleeve in August 25 2014, and looking for others for support.

[jodyjetson 72]

Hey Micky

Keep me posted when you get your surgery . Are you getting it done in a Richmond? Ask any questions you need to. I guess I'm becoming an expert.

Hi I'm from Abbotsford and I'm getting my sleeve done on Aug. 11,2014 after a 4 1/2 year wait! I know Dr. Lyon from Medical Weight Management and have been attending his program. With his help I have lost almost 40 pounds in 3 1/2 months. My surgery being done in Victoria, and I could really use some support on this side of the water!

Hi BC sleevers, I had my surgery in Mexico on July 1. Canada Day was to be a celebration in two ways. I am down 32 pounds counting pre surgery diet. I was taken off my high blood pressure medication today. So excited!! It is still a journey and hasn't always been easy and I am only 24 days out. Hope everyone does well and achieves their goals.

Hi everyone.

My surgery date is August 25th. Im going to the OCC in Mexico. Im starting my pre op diet today.

Im excited about the surgery and scared too. Glad to know there are other bc sleevers out there.

Nice to hear from BC people. I'm really enjoying my sleeve but realize that grazing can get you into trouble. So far all has gone well and I'm hoovering around -50lbs this week. I'm down 3 pants sizes. Perhaps we should all meet for coffee in late Aug or Sept - I'm in Vancouver but willing to drive to New West or Surrey. Keep working the sleeve!
