Determintoloose 1 Posted May 30, 2014 I'm in Hinton. My sleeve was May 14/14. Be well during your surgery. Try to get up and walk if your able. It helps get the gas out. Take the pain meds - it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shastasmom 24 Posted June 12, 2014 Hi all, I'm from just outside of Edmonton and would love to chat with some of you. I have not made the decision for sure weather or not to do this. I have struggled for 35 years to lose and maintain but always gain back and more. If I continue this way I know I will suffer the consequences soon. I don't qualify for surgery in alberta because I'm not heavy enough so I'm considering going to Mexico. I'd love to hear more from people who have actually gone to Mexico and your experience.
