ChicaNica

So March 6th will mark my 6 month anniversary and I am 15 pounds from my goal weight. I have

Hit a platue again this month because I have only lost 1 pound. Not feeling discouraged because I know I have gained a lot of muscle and im wearing size 9 or 8 clothes which I haven't fit into since I was 22.. lol not the same ones of course.. =)

So with that said I am ready to lose some more and hopefully by june I can wear a 2 piece bathing suit.. maybe

On another note how are everyones scars from the incisions doing? Mine have not faded and I really dislike them and every now and then one of them (the bigger one) kinda stings. Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyways would love to hear how everyone is doing since september.

Yes I just had my plication done Nov 20th. Back home now feeling minimal pain.

Hi Lachiz, where abouts in Canada are you located? Im in Vancouver.

Yes I live in Alberta and have surgery on January 28th

Good luck on your upcoming surgery Ceeda. You wont regret your decision.

Hi fellow Canadians,

Thank you for posting its nice to see someone else .om Canada!!

How are you all doing/feeling now?

I'm curious about everything but as my date is approaching, March 7, I'd like to know what you did for medical and travel insurance.

Thank you in advance for any tips/suggestions.

Hi yycgirl, my 6 month anniversary is march 6 and by far I have no regrets. I have lost 50 pounds and have 15 more to

Go. It is a lifestyle change and I am more cautios of what goes in my body. But overall my lfe is normal.

I honestly did not buy any sort of travel or medical insurance. I had a wonderful experience at the clinic and was up and about not long

After surgery. The staff was great and everyone was very friendlynand helpful. Good luck and tell us how it goes for you.

Hi ChicaNica - sorry for late reply! I haven't logged in here lately. Actually I logged on today for exactly the reason you are mentioning. I am stuck at 30 pounds weight loss and can't seem to get past it! One thing I do notice is that I am slowing eating more than I was in the beginning. I can also tolerate foods that I couldn't before. I am back at the gym doing more cario and weight training (slow but sure) and I am hoping increasing my excercise with help with the weightloss. I still feel incredible and don't regret the surgery for one minute - I just need to keep on track or I feel like I will be stuck at 30 lbs forever. My goal is to lose 65lbs - what is your goal? My heartburn is also almost daily right now - are you getting heartburn frequently? It doesn't seem to matter what I eat - I get heartburn ;( I look forward to hearing from you

I also think a plateau in weightloss is expected - my weight loss seemed pretty rapid before so I was expecting a slow down! But I would hope for a couple lbs a week until I reach my goal!

Anything and everything

Eshannon I am in Vancouver. Would love to know how you are doing. I had my surgey on the 6th and total including preop i have lost 30 pounds. I seem to be stuck in a stand still. Havent lost anything in a week. Maybe we can keep in touch?

Hi Jody, where abouts in Canada are you at? I'm in Vancouver. Would love to get in touch wih more Canadians and their experiences after surgery.

Hi all i had my plication surgery on friday sep 6th. So far aside from the rumbling of gas i feel pretty good. Lost the weight i gained after surgery plus another 2 pounds. I am excited of what is to come.
