Hi Tyler, I joined this forum and stumbled onto your blog. I was looking for other Canadians as I live in Regina,SK. I've just been recently included in the govt program which I have to go thru a six month program before surgery, which for me will be good.

We sound very similar in our stories with weight issues except that I'm much older but am diabetic, high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol (triple threat).

It looks like you are off to a good start with the sleeve which is what I'm leaning towards as we only two choices in our provi the other being the gastric bypass. I have so many questions but don't want to really bother people with what maybe rather dumb. There's a few things that worry me about the procedure, not being able to drink carbonated beverages (read beer here) and limiting coffee, which I consume a great deal of.

If you would be up to discussing your situation so far, I would certainly be interested in corresponding.

All the best,

Take good care!
