Topic: RE: Another coffee meeting?? anyone interested?

Do you have regular meeting dates.  I am looking for a support group in Calgary.  I just had my Sleeve done this past Monday in Red Deer but would like to find some support closer to home.

It cost 15000. I went through smart shape clinic.  I wasn't obese enough to qualify through health care.  I had it done about 5 weeks ago and no regrets.

Hi...thank you.  Did you require a revision or was this a first surgery?

You will get a call from your surgeon's office with a surgery date but that comes sometime after signing the papers.  Could take a month or two to get your date, depends on how many people are in line in front of you.  Also, the date you get will likely be 1-2 months away from when you get the call.
