appt. with surgeon

Just an update. Got a call from the RVH to meet my surgeon on thursday March 22nd. Now I have butterflies and the whole zoo in my tummy.

That's great news. Step one on it's way.
Keep us posted on how it goes.

Great news!!!

Good luck and give us news when you can.

Met with surgeon. I have chosen the VSG. No date yet but first week of May is possible. I need a filter put in because I'm prone to blood clots; on coumadin for life(hoping maybe the surgery will affect this issue) better circulation. Thanks for all the support.

 Good luck Nikko.  Please keep us posted :)

I had surgery on april 30th. It went well feeling very emotional and thoughts of did I do the right thing.

Glad to hear you had the surgery.   Did you have the VSG afterall?  How are you feeling?

I had the VSG. I'm doing okay. Can't stand the beneprotein I'm supposed to put in my cream soups. Any news for you?

Got a call to schedule pre-op tests from Sacre Coeur hospital and going to go with Dr. Garneau for the VSG once I give birth and am no longer breast feeding.  From my appointment in March with Dr. D-something at RVH (Court was not able to see me as he was in the ER with a patient), I would have to be operated for by Dr. Christou because no other surgeon has the specialty to remove the lap band and then do a secondary surgery.  And I am not paying for a surgery that is covered for by RAMQ.  

Will keep you posted :)
