    check out the mexico forum there are quite a few of us.  I am going on the 4th of June to Dr Ponce de Leon.  There are several from Winnipeg that have gone or are going to him.  All good from what I can tell.

    Topic: Questions
     I bet people ask this question all the time, but how long do most people wait between referral and the first appointment at the bariatric clinic in Regina? I have read that they only do the surgery on people with a BMI of 60 or lower. I am 5'2" tall and weigh over 400 lbs (I don't even know how much over because I can't find a scale that can weigh me), so this means my BMI is well over 70 and I find it hard to believe that I could possibly lose over 100 lbs to get under 60 on my own. Does this mean I am a hopeless case and just wasting time and space on the waiting list? I have absolutely no way to pay for doing the surgery anywhere else but the program in Regina is not giving me much hope. Any info that people can provide would be welcome.

    Topic: RE: Leaks
    I am currently consdiering Dr. Aceves through an organization here in Saskatoon, and am doing research in order to make an informed decision.  Did you have your surgery with Dr. Kelly?  Where is he/she located and what did it cost, if you don't mind me asking.

    Topic: RE: Leaks
    Be very careful with Dr. Kelly, i have recently talked to 2 of his patients and both of the almost died.  Do your research before you go.  There are many horror stories with Dr. Kelly and I actually talked person to person with the 2 people that almost died.  One was a pastor and the other was his daughter.  The pastor now has an artificial stomach that fortunately for him they were able to do in the United States. Be very careful.
