hello I am from regina and I am having my surgery tommoro (April 8 2013) and nervous as hell.  Who is doing your surgery and where you having it done???

I had surgery in Saskatoon 8 years ago and we use to have a group but we just all moved on. I found this site and realized how much I miss being part of a group so if someone has one going I to would be interested.

Its been over six years since we've launched our forums. During this time it has seen thousands of fresh faces, greetings, meetings, partings, arguments, kind words, life transformations, cathartic rants, and simply happy time pass. It has been with us throughout this time, silently observing and facilitating. But like any wise old man, its bones were getting old. Its joints were aching, and it has been needing a new jolt of energy.

A Mobile World
Did you know that over 30% of you visit our website using a mobile device? For those who do visit us via mobile, we owe you a sincere apology, because our forums have been horrendous on a mobile browser. But the big news is that things are about to change! Our new forums are completely mobile friendly and compatible with iPhone, Android, and pretty much any other modern smart phone.

Each post, topic, and forum shows up beautifully, with the full set of features, and in nice large font. See the screenshots for yourself.

You dont have do anything different, just browse to the forums like you normally would. This means that you can finally put these away:

Not Just for Mobile
The interface on your desktop browser has also been cleaned up a great deal. There is now less clutter on the page, and the overall experience is a lot cleaner. Check out some more screenshots here!

You will notice that each post no longer has 400 buttons below it. Only the buttons that are relevant to each post show up, making your screen space a lot less cluttered. Also, when you reply to another person's post, the entire post is indented inside, making it a lot easier to figure out who has replied to whom.

Launching soon! Maybe as early as next week! Maybe.
And do remember that this is not in any way a be-all-end-all when it comes to the forums. We are in the process of constantly learning and improving upon what we have, and this is just one step along the way.

Stay tuned for the changes! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

 Hey! 

I also just decided to go with weight loss surgery. After being on a waiting list for over a year now I decided to look for options outside of Canada. I found Dr. Aceves online and have only read/heard good things about him. In total I think it took three days to book the date and I fly down to San Diego on Sep. 19 for surgery. The staff there have been extremely helpful and they return emails/ phone calls very quickly. If you want I could email you the information package they sent me or if you contact their office they can send you one directly. It has alot of information and answered most of my questions.

 I have been looking up alot of information about him so any help and your story would help. Thanks!
