Band-aided

Hi, I've been looking into getting a band, I live in Toronto and wanted to know about all your experiences. Could anyone reccomend a good Doctor I went to the LaparoscopicBand Centre today. Thanks

Thank you so much for your words! so weird that only certain people understand, people who live it. I went today to see about banding and I can believe how relaxed and calm I felt. They were lovely to me, any quesions I asked, answered. I'm going to take my Husband back with me to meet the Doctor, he is so against it!

It's 4am in the morning and once again I've woken up, tears running down my face why, because I'm fat and hate myself..... I just can't go on! I've, as I'm sure all of you guys have, been on every diet possible. Lost 20-30 llbs felt great then back on again. I exercise most days, snow ski, water ski and love jogging, i'm around the 200llb mark. My big problem is food! I go for a few weeks were I eat great, little often then hit the big time pig out stage. I was diagnosed a non purging balimic a few years ago, and have big issues with food. I'm not there anymore but still go through periods of eating lots because I feel sad, fat and depressed! Is the band right for me will it make me feel full and satisfied with the amount of food I eat. I do stop eating when I feel satisfied but it seems to take a full macdonalds restaurant to do it!!!!! I've booked my first appointment tomorrow to go see about the band but if it's not right for me then what's the point. Also how long will I need of work after and when can I get back to exercising? Also I've been reading about ports and slippagaes?????? what are these? I really am quite active will this make me more prone to this stuff? Thanks for being a sounding board. Jetlagjane X:help:
