    Topic: RE: Complications back in Nova Scotia?

    Well ladies!! I'd want my GP to be onboard with you!. I did have the sleeve in Halifax and had a leak! I went 4 months before DR. GODdard Jr. found the leak. I was diagnosed with a lot of other **** before they found it! I felt I was on my death bed the day he did the scan. Then was sent to Halifax for a 3 month hospital stay. 5 surgeries later and nothing worked. I was sent home with a JP drain and a wound vac for another 4 months!...I left for out West and they removed my appliances and wished me well.. 18 months later my GP here sent me for a leak test and it was healed. My GP from the Valley saw the hell I went through! So, he may be hesitant to sign!

     

    Wish you well!

     

    Hugs

    It wasn't covered back two years ago in Nova Scotia...I moved to Alberta and the second step was covered like NS used to be. I lucked in!!! Had my initial appointment, 6 months later I was on the operating table.

    Topic: RE: X-Post...Have no fear..
    Have no fear peeps!!!

    I did an experiment this AM just out of curiosity! I had a 42 bougie sleeve when operated on. I am 3 years, 2 months and few days out!. Well, I haven't really measured a lot in the past years to really judge the portion sizes of my food. I go through phases and it doesn't last long. Well this AM on an empty stomach. I ate 3 ounces of plain chicken breast, was satisfied! took the other ounce off the chicken bones and it was a tad too much. I should of stayed at 3 ounces. So, you live by your surgeons orders and eat dense protein and veggies, fruit, carbs for your lifetime. Things should work out pretty well. Some days, I feel that I have stretched the ole tool right out. But, then go back to basics and realize, nope, I haven't. The grazing is a killer with carbs!

    Have a great Saturday everyone!!

    Hugs & Loves
