  1. Hi Katie, Thanks so much for all of the info, Carolyn gave me the contact info of a gal that went through the GSP in Feb this year, and she was really nice and very helpful. I was having some sleepless nights after watching some of the stuff posted on You Tube regarding failed gastric surgeries,.... and I will admit I was a little freaked out to say the least, but none of them were patients of OCC. She said she and a lady also in for GSP hung around before and after the procedure and they both felt fine, no cramps, nausea etc. She did say she was careful to follow all the pre-op instructions and believes this really helps, she's a nurse with 23 years of hospital experience, and worked all the units at one time or another. My heartfelt thanks go out to her for being so kind to take the time to make me feel confident I'm making the right decision. A lot of very kind people with big hearts on this forum, and I thank all of you for taking the time to help me feel confident and prepared for what lies ahead. Best Regards, Dwayne
  2. Hi and thanks for that, how was your experience and how are you feeling now, are you eating normal food again, weight loss so far? Dwayne
  3. I'm 12 days from having the GSP and a little nervous, scared and excited all in one, how many of you folks had this procedure lately, and how was it for you?

  4. Just wondering how many folks out there had the GSP surgery over a year ago and how are they feeling, and is this working for them. Anyone out there actually gain the weight back again? I'm scheduled for GSP surgery in 2 weeks and a little nervous about the whole thing. How many men out there went through this, and how's it working for you? I'm excited at the prospect of looking at a mirror and being happy with what I see. I just hope this is as good as they make it sound.
  5. Hi Canuck Girl, Thanks so much for all the info, I spoke with Dr.Ortiz yesterday,..he answered some questions I had, and I finished the call feeling much better about everything. Like many people I could loose weight quickly, but I would gain it back just as fast. I love to eat and always will, just need something to help me with the amount of food I'm putting in my tummy, this is where I'm hoping the GSP will work. In the last 3 years I have been diagnosed with TypeII Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Hypertension, joint aches, etc. I'm looking forward to a new looking and feeling me!! I wish you all the best, take care and keep in touch. Dwayne
  6. Hi Canuck Girl, Thanks for the insight, if it's ok I would like to keep in touch to see how it's working for you, my GSP is scheduled for Jan-24-2011. I am from Edmonton, where are you from and how did you find out about this place? Thanks, Dwayne
  7. Is there anyone out there that has had GSP performed over a year ago or more, I'm curious to know what the success rate for permanant weight loss is and how much weight loss to expect on average, and general health. There seems to be little to substantiate the long term effects of the procedure. How has it changed your life or has it at all, would you do it again knowing now the results you have experienced. Is it really life changing, how strict is the diet after post surgery say 2-3 months down the road? I want to do it but need proof that it works, and that it does not cause other long term health problems. Thanks, Dwayne
  8. Hi, I'm scheduled for January to have the Gastric Sleeve Plication surgery and a little nervous after reading about the pain some of you have experienced, would it be better to stay back a few extra days before travelling home ( 5-6 hour travel ), is this an un-bearable pain, where your out of breath or like pain associated with bad travellers diarrhea? The lady I spoke to from another clinic said she experienced only mild gas pains? Do they give you anything for the gas pains you have? Just how much pain do you experience or does this depend on the individual?, anyone out there experience no or little pain? Muchas Gracias, Senior Dwayne
