My surgery is 1/15. I am very scared of complications

[BetsyB0101 25]

Vicki, mine is January 6 and I am scared too. But I keep reminding myself of the consequences of NOT doing the surgery. My back hurts, my knees hurt, I am not enjoying life like I should be. I want that better life! Remind yourself of all the reasons you are doing this when you get scared.

2biglamb curious about something. Does your provincial health cover your surgery here in alberta or do you have to pay? I was soooo happy to learn our alberta health care covers it now. I was going to self pay in great falls Montana at around $15000.

Manitoba health is covering it!!! They are also covering my travel which ever form I chose! I am flying it not only gets me there sooner but I will feel safe with tonnes of people around. I could drive but it would be all by myself for a 12 hour drive.

I looked into the sleeve and it was supposed to cost me $16,000 and I would have to fly to Toronto on my dime. I could have waited and had VSG here in winnipeg but it would mean surgery in late fall of 2014. I just want to start my journey already!

What does your pre-op diet consist of? I start my second week on it tomorrow. It is a lot harder than I expected! I have lost 13 pounds in 6 days. I have been dreaming about food at night. Lol!
