Dolittle Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 This is the topic for those who are scheduling their surgery during the month of July. Posting in this topic gives you a chance to meet other patients that are going to be in TJ during this month
Misslambert31 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Dont worry you will be fine. The drs and staff are great. They take good care of the patients. I had mine done may 8th. It went good. Im down 35lbs! The surgery went fast. Hotel was nice too. 3

LindaB Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 I just booked my surgery for the 7th it sure doesn't give me a lot of time to get my diet in order. I'm from Red Deer, AB trying to decide on a flight to book 1
TanyaK Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Hi! I'm new. Just scheduled my surgery for July 7th. I'll be arriving on the 6th from Atlanta, Georgia. Anyone else having surgery on that day? 1

LindaB Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Hi Tanya that's awesome I'm nervous but excited and happy to find others going through the same thing 1
TanyaK Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Absolutely! I'm super pumped! I'm starting my pre-op diet today (Monday). They want me to lose 14 pounds before surgery. How's your diet?
LindaB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I was concerned about the 13 lbs so I started Friday I believe and down 8 lbs must be a lot of water lol - it's a very limited diet and I'm still waiting on my suppliments to arrive to Canada. So wonderful to have others who know the struggles
TanyaK Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 That's fabulous! Way to go! What have you been eating for protein? I too am waiting on my Vitaleph order to arrive. Will you arrive on Thursday, July 6th? if it's easier, my email is tanyathebaker@hotmail.com
LindaB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 My hubby had one called P94 with no carbs so been using that till mine gets here. Yes definitely flying in on the 6th we land at 3:06 pm so hopefully lots of time to get settled in. How about yourself? 1

Did your suppliment take long to arrive or are you still waiting? 1
TanyaK Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Great! I arrive on the 6th around 10am. I am traveling alone. Cant wait to meet all of you!
LindaB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Sweet don't be afraid to ask my husband for any assistance if you need it - no one would let me go alone lol 1
TanyaK Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Thank you! My hubby is staying with our kiddos.
elleelle Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 My surgery is the 5th, so tomorrow I need to start my high protein liquid diet for two weeks.

I've been going to bed earlier, because that's when I am the most hungry! I'm down over ten pounds and very close to my desired surgery weight.
TanyaK Posted June 24, 2017 Report Posted June 24, 2017 Does anyone know what level of air we're suppose to reach with our incentive spirometer exercises? I'm pretty sure it's different for men & women but I can't find instructions from OCC anywhere. thanks in advance!
