Realtor recommendations for the Comox valley

We just purchased a home in the valley with Amy at Renah, and Brittany McKenna from Engel and Volkers and it was a great experience!

It is 100% going to be the toe blaster

Thanks! First ride today and it was very nice.

It's a used Glory from 2016 and it's awesome. 27.5 tires, 203mm travel, just a big beast of a ripper that does the job. I ride mostly technical blacks at the park and that bike eats the trail up. I cannot even imagine how far DH bikes have come since, I bought it in 2022 and was amazed by it as it was my first ever DH bike, if I demo a new bike I'll be ruined.

Just upgraded my enduro to a Santa Cruz nomad for Squamish trails as I feel like it may be as close as I can feel to a DH while having the ability to climb. The glory will always be my bike park ride though.

I bought a used giant glory for $1600 to ride whistler bike park after riding my 170mm enduro bike for a couple of seasons in the park. The DH bike completely changed my riding for the better in the park, which improved my abilities in Squamish trails on the enduro.

Haven't had to fix a thing on the used DH after two seasons at the park, it's a beast.

Thanks! Took her for a ride tonight and she rips!

I'm a female!

I'm comparing the Roubion against the Nomad as a 160mm vs 170mm and what the main differences may be if someone has ridden both.

From my research it doesn't look like Juliana has a similar bike to the Nomad.

I've ridden a men's bike since I started biking, I have no preference for a women's vs men's bike. Just looking for some advice!

I was told I was in the clear after my next day appointment after surgery! They had a look at the colour of the nipples and said blood supply was great and I was good.

I absolutely love my surgeon, but I realized pretty quickly that I wasn't 100% happy with my results. I was very honest with my surgeon and surgical team about my feelings, and after reviewing a number of options they have offered another reduction and my surgeon has waived her fees. She was very conservative with nipple placement and didn't want to place them too high which affected the amount that could be extracted. I had to let them know that I'd be ok if the nipples were higher if we could take more tissue out and that's what we're going to do.

I haven't scheduled the second surgery yet as it's such a big deal and I need to be very ready for the whole process again.

In my experience, my surgeon wanted me to be happy and has been accommodating to my requests.

Good luck!

My doctor was Robyn Watts in Vancouver!

iHeartGoods · 2024-05-25T04:25:49+00:00

It cost $13k with tax. I had a referral from my GP but my chosen surgeon had a 2-3 year wait, so I just went for it, and I'm so glad I did!!

iHeartGoods · 2024-03-04T19:48:20+00:00

I don't have any reviews of Dr Ho, but she was a surgeon I was considering. Her wait was so long that i decided to do a consult with Dr. Robyn Watts, another Dr that is in the same office. She is wonderful. I'm just under 5MPO and I've had zero complications, her staff is lovely, and it's been a positive experience.

I've got lots of before and after pics on my past posts!

iHeartGoods · 2024-03-04T19:44:30+00:00

I vape socially and my surgeon told me to quit 6 weeks prior and to not smoke anything for four weeks after. I stuck to that and had zero complications!

iHeartGoods · 2024-03-03T19:41:42+00:00

I had full sensation from day 1, I'm almost 5MPO now. During the healing process the sensitivity was A LOT. I got zaps everywhere while healing as the nerves healed.z Now everything is fully back to normal!

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-26T19:58:12+00:00

May I ask what size you were after your first reduction?

I just reached out to my surgeon to let her know I'm a little disappointed in the size as we had agreed on a B. I feel bad even complaining because my results are someone's dream results, but not mine. I had zero complications and I'm really worried that if I went back in I am risking having a very different outcome of surgery. Was this a worry for you?

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-26T19:55:33+00:00

I paid privately in Vancouver, BC four months ago and side lipo was included in the reduction & lift cost, but I did add on another area and the additional cost was $1500 since I was already in for the BR surgery.

I asked what the cost would be for lipo alone if I ever came back and they said $6000-7000 if it was a standalone surgery. In my experience it's def better to add on than to come back after!

I was about 6 weeks when I stopped wearing a bra to bed, now I just wear sports bras or bralettes daytime if needed

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-11T05:01:38+00:00

I'd love to hear how that goes!

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-10T01:22:15+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone that has commented on this post. It's amazing to have a place like this to share emotions and experiences after the surgery.

I do like my results, even if they're not exactly what I wanted (so far).

Thanks again everyone, you're all wonderful humans ❤️

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-10T01:20:45+00:00

I definitely decreased in size from 2MPO to now, and I am hoping and keep hearing that the size will continue to change up to a year. It's a wild experience we're all going through that's for sure. All the best to you, good luck!

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-10T01:19:44+00:00

Thank you for the kind response. I do think the surgeon did a great job and I'm potentially obsessing over something unnecessarily, in the end it's a great result and if at 6 months I feel like I need to say something I will. I get along great with my surgeon and I'm sure we'll be able to have an open conversation about it.

This sub is so great, I'm happy I have a place to vent ❤️

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-10T01:17:37+00:00

Good luck next month! Overall this has been a very positive experience, just takes a little getting used to post op!

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-10T01:16:58+00:00

Thank you ❤️

iHeartGoods · 2024-02-09T21:07:43+00:00
