1:30pm update!
Kessey is out of the recovery room and is still in a bit of pain but everything went really well. The doctor said that if everything stays the same they might not send her to Sacré-Coeur afterall and that staying at the hotel where they booked until Friday would do the trick!
Wishing you a quick and painless recovery Kess!

OMG, Sarah, almost 400 lbs lost, I can't even imagine it! That is such a tremendous achievement, I hope you are very proud of yourself!!!
I hope that things will get easier for you down there! A cruise to the Caribbean sounds really great!

Topic: Missing Montreal
I am sooo missing my life up there right now. Things are going well, as well as can be hoped for, down here. But, I just can't shake a feeling of disappointment.
Simon and I will see each other in 2 months- we even planned a cruise to the Caribbean! I am working out so I can do and go more places on that trip! I weighed in at 254.0 today, so the scale is being kind to me, even after Dad's BBQ... which after the tequilla fiasco I really didn't keep any calories down for that day
The weather is a bit hotter, but feels great! I was always freezing up there, even when temp.s were nice. My Doc said it was due to losing weight.
I just realized that I am 10 pounds away from having lost 400 pounds!!! When I look back I can't believe the journey! (And it still isn't over yet!)
Well, I just wanted to post a little something to keep ya'll up to date, well those that don't have me on facebook LOL.
Keep losing, and keep at it until you get the surgery!

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to put up a little thread for Kessey who is having her surgery today at the Rockland clinic with Dr. Garneau. She just texted me and after changing hotels in the middle of the night and having slept only 3 hours, she is outside the doors at the Rockland waiting for them to open. I will keep you guys posted on her progress while she is away!
Best of luck Kessey! See you on the losers bench!

Topic: RE: Buying vitamins in montreal
Hi!,
I don't know what Dr Gagner recommands, but DSers fron Hopital Laval usually take one multivit (namely Centrum forte), calciun carbonate, ferrous sulfate and vitamins A & D. Daily dosage varies according to blood tests. I think most people get their meds at their local pharmacy. Most supplements are covered by insurance automatically or necessitate a written note from your doc to be sent to the insurance company. Some people prefer "specialty products" from Bariatric choice or other on-line shops, but there's no absolute need to buy that stuff...
Hope it helps!

Hi,
I just get mine from Jean Coutu but I only take 1 multi-vitamin a day. I know you DS patients need a bit more so maybe Joel can chime in as the only DS patient on our board.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
