I see you not able to manage to eat quite a few things.....is this the case with most people?

SWLC?

Hi, I saw my doctor today and he had received and read the package from Slimband. He said that he thought the whole thing was a good idea and was very encouraging. So what now? I have emailed the girl that I had my phone consultation with and am assuming she will reply tomorrow. What happens after you have made the decision to go through with the procedure? Vicki

Hello everyone, I have enjoyed reading your input and found it all both interesting and informative. I am at the point of visiting my own GP tomorrow and hope that he sees no reason why I can not proceed with the Slimband procedure. I really hope that this is the answer that I have been looking for. I have dieted since I was 16 and am now 52. I have 3 grown children and 1 absolutely wonderful grandson . To be perfectly honest, this procedure sounded too good to be true, but since I have read your postings, I can see that it isn't going to be a walk in the park! There is going to be a lot of work ahead. I have lost hundreds of pounds over the years and of course have put it all back on, and then some. My hope with procedure is that once I have reached my goal this time that Slimband is going to make it impossible to gain the weight back.

Hi Doddie, I appreciate your responce and input. The more I read the better I understand that this is going to be a lot of work but well worth the while I believe. You are right, there will have to be a change in my eating habits but it is my hope that Slimband will indeed be the right tool for me. Thanks again. Vicki

I am in Sudbury and you?

Hello, I have just joined this forum and find it most informative. I am very happy to see that most of you have had good experiences at the Slimband clinic in Toronto. I am visiting my own GP tomorrow to get his input and then I will hopefully be able to book my own surgery soon afterward. Best of luck to you all and I look forward to sharing my own experiences with you soon.

Hi, Just joined this forum and am in the planning stages. I am in Sudbury and have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to chat about this whole process. Have you been 'banded' since your post?

Hi, Just joining the page. Haven't booked anything yet. See my GP tomorrow and hope that he is as excited about this procedure as I am. Found your postings, as well as the responses, very interesting.
