  2. Hi, I'm Nov 19...I'm also SOOO unsure...My biggest fear is it not working...Or having issues with food - The lack of it...I'm so used to over eating and eating all the wrong stuff...I wonder CAN I do this???

    Still looking...

    I've been looking around and trying to research a few Doctors...I will be seeing Dr Cobourn at the SWLC...Can anyone tell me about their experiences with or without this Doctor???
  4. Hey you two...I'm seeing Dr Coburn for the first time this Friday...I went to the Credit Valley Clinic last week and met Dr Woolfson...Wasn't very impressed...So I'm looking around. Nice to hear your positive experiences...I have a Nov 19th date set if I go with Dr C. I'm not telling work - so I get it done on a Friday and return to work that Monday following...YIKES!

    8 More Days

    I'm feeling the same way...I'm still in the process of finding the right Doctor. I'm scared after reading blogs about throwing up & some can't eat normal food - Being stuck on pureed or even worse liquid for a loooong time worries me. Also, what if it doesn't work and I don't lose weight??? I'm in Canada and we pay $16,000.00 nothing is covered...
  6. Hi Sandra, I just read your blog (Oct 25/2010)...And you wrote exactly how I want my experience to go...I'm planning to get my band in 4 weeks and I worry about having issues with food - Wanting to eat (emotionally) or not chewing it enough and having pain - or from what I've read feeling like I'm being suffocated...Some scary stories out there...Make me think twice.

    19 days post op....GAINED 2 LBS!!!!!!!!!

    I've been reading that some people lose inches & not so much pounds...I can only imagine how mad you feel. You said your clothes are fitting better...Maybe stay off the scale for a few days...And keep trying on those clothes.

    Credit Valley Clinic

    Hey out there...I'm wondering if anyone has had their Lap Band done at the Credit Valley Clinic in Mississauga??? I had my first consultation last week and I'm trying to find out more about this clinic and the surgeon I spoke with...Dr. Neil Woolfson... Also, wondering if anyone has had their band slip? OR had rubbing on the stomach that caused a hole? Had to have band removed for any reason? How much $$$ to have it removed? Any of your experiences would be greatly appreciated. P.S. What is "Slime"
