Just my word of advice...if you are having plastics please make sure they are a board certified plastic surgeon. Although some might have had an ok time with Dr A Macdonald, he is not a board certified plastic surgeron!

I had my plastics done by Dr Bendor Samuel at the landings. I wouldnt send my dog to him. I am now on a waiting list to see a surgeon at the hospital to fix what he did!! He left a huge outpouch of skin on one side of my incision line and did not do the mons lift he was suppose to. When i went to my post op visit he said the mons area was my fault because i must have gained weight and that i should stop eating things i wasnt suppose to. Very unprofessional and rude. He was willing to fix it though...for $5ooo more dolllars!!

 Make room on the losers bench gang, I've been sleeved!   Surgery was on Wednesday, May 10th with Dr. Ponce De Leon in Tijuana.  I will be discharged this aftenroon, and am feeling alot better!  Waking up was pretty rough, had quite a bit of nausea and gas, but things have improved drastically.  I have some great sleeve siblings, a gal from Texas, a couple from Mississippi, and a great gal from the Valley!  Also, the staff here has been wonderful, especially Trish, what a doll!  I can't wait to get to the hotel this afternoon and head for home tomorrow evening.  I'll be sure to post some updates on how things move along! 

I hope you have great success 

great to hear you are able to have some get togethers... support is so important in this journey ;)

Yes it is really sad that the NS goverment doesnt realize that funding the obesity network would overall help NS's medicare and healthiness of Nova Scotians.
What is even more discouraging is the bitterness some have towards the Obesity Network in that some had done some damage to it with their "complaints" making things slow down a bit more ...adding to the longer waitlists....things slowed to a hault last year with only one info session. (this is of my opinion being in the wlp last year and feeling the delays of things). It's nice to see things back on track and the team pushing what they can do, to help all that are on that long list. Hopefully the good stats of those in the wlp can encourage the government to give more funding.. so there can be more surgeries in NS. 

We had a small coffee get together and chatted about our surgeries to a lovely lady leaving in 2 days for Mexico for surgery.  We will likely get together again.  If you are in our area and are interested in joining us for coffee and chat PM me or friend me and let me know.  Support is key in success.

 There is still a GNC in town, and I have to head to Shoppers this afternoon anyway to do my passport picture, so I'll have a look for the Isopure.  That's too funny that you lived in Freetown, a good friend of mine lives just up from the old Ultramar station, and I used to have one of my horses at a place on the Campbell Rd.  Small world! 

Hi KentvilleWoman. We are neighbours I live in Coldbrook. If you are interested in getting together let me know. Hope to hear from you Laurie
