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!

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.

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!

        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.

      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
