.... can move forward with LIFE! Food should not have to be such a horrific daily chore. And while some might naively say they wish they had your problem... I honestly could imagine how trapped you must feel by all the food you have to consume. Wishing you the best possible outcome!! Keep us updated ok?!

@faithkp That is for sure. I am glad I have the support on here because not too many people sympathize with my situation. I don't look sick (just very pale) and I am not emaciated, but all it would take would be 2-3 months. Thanks so much, and I will let everyone know what happens.

glad to see you made the update. i discussed this with Craig at length last night after your FB message to me. I know it is tough for you, but going ahead with the revision seems to be your best bet. Eating "the a normal wls peep" is what you desired from the start and hopefully this will get you there. Crazy fire madness, thank goodness you are ok and the apartment did not burn down. loved your photos from the diving trip and i know you will find your way there. MORE UPDATES, ok? xoxo

@bandedwendy Totally Wendy, it almost feels like I have been on a two year long binge. It's definitely time to stop. I will update when I get any news, going to try to follow up later today with my doctor's office. I am hoping to still be able to swing all the research stuff I had planned for next semester, but I feel like I am in limbo right now.

I miss you Carrie!! Its good to see an update from you. I have been wondering where u been and I am soooo sorry all of this is going on but im glad your FINALLY going to get this revision. I remember it going back to when we hung out in Vegas. Its insane indeed. Im glad you made it out of that fire ok. You were very lucky. Come on from time to time and do updates more often... Your much missed here in the community

@skymoon1982 I miss you too Melanie!!! I wish I had better news to post after being MIA for so long. But, hopefully I will get all of this all sorted out soon enough and be able to get on with life. I am going to try to do updates a bit more often, I think it was like 6 months since the last one! Big hugs to you!

Good to hear from you! I really hope your revision happens soon so you c

@MsLadyKanKan Me too, it was really scary. There is a surgeon here who is head of the bariatric program in the only surgical center here in Toronto. I asked my Gastroenterologist who the best was, and that was who he told me. Getting in to see him might be another hurdle. Dr.R said he could be available to talk with a surgeon here if I needed to do it in Canada, and Dr.P is also there if for some reason I can't reach Dr.R. The very best of luck to you on your surgery, I know you will do great!
