  1. Little Update

    I have a little update, I ended up going to the er Friday night (August 12th, 2016) as I was in a lot of pain from not having a bm since surgery, I had a pretty big plug there, Dr. Davis from Fredericton was on call so he gave me a fleet to take home, so I came home and did it and nothing it didn't do a damn thing for me so I was up all night in pain and trying to get things moving along.

  2. Post Surgery!

    Finally I have had my surgery, I had it on Tuesday August 2nd, 2016. everything went really well, Dr. Beausoile said he was very pleased and the surgery only took about 30 minutes to complete.

  5. Update June 11th 2016 - Meeting with Surgeon

    So yesterday on June 10th I met with my surgeon to sign my consent forms. He and the nurse were both extremely happy with my progress since I last seen them! Me loosing 65lbs has really helped me, I will no longer need to do the sleeve then by pass, the sleeve should be enough. Also I will no longer need to go to the ICU after surgery and should only need to stay in the hospital for the one night. I have reduced my risk quite abit he said. & the very BEST news of all - he is going to push my ...
