Tomorrow, May 9th, is my one year surgiversary!

It's hard to believe how much has changed in a year. I've gone from a tight size 28 to a loose size 18 for jeans, a size 4X at Penningtons, to wearing an XL at Reitmans. I've lost 118 lbs so far

I AM SO INSPIRED BY YOUR POSTS. I have lapland currently but have been having problems with it for a few months now so I might be considering doing the change over from Lapband to gastric sleeve. I love in Fredericton and would love to chat more about what it is truly like. Who did your surgery cause mine would be done I hope by Dr Boisvert instead of Dr Beausoleil as I do not want to have to go to Moncton all the time for check ups . Keep up the awesome work. Thanks Lori

So I don't know what kind of feedback this is going to get, or if there's even any interest in it at all.  I only know of two people in the city who have had the sleeve surgery.  One I see once in a blue moon in passing at the gym, and another one I se

Hair loss after weight loss surgery is real.  I had read about it on other forums and had done my research on it, and started myself on 5000 mcg of Biotin about three months before surgery in hopes of keeping my hair.  (You can purchase it at GNC)

For anyone still reading the forums I just wanted to post about my experiences.  I was sleeved by Dr. Boisvert on May 9th, so on September 9th I will be 4 months out! 

So far most everything has been great!  I've lost 71 lbs and have cleared ou

Just thought I'd post an update for anyone who was interested!

I am now three weeks post op, and honestly, I am feeling great.  Every day it gets easier to get in my protein and water, and I'm getting my activity in most days as well.  I'm stil

From referral to sleeve date it has been a year and a half for me.  Tomorrow I go to the DECH for 8am, and then Dr. Boisvert will be doing my sleeve!

I wish this forum were more active, but for the ones here and still reading, this is it for me

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post something I've been thinking about since reading the thread about the wait list time for surgery in NB.

When you asked your doctor to put your name on "the list" did s/he tell you which doctors they were going
