Hi all - I am a newbie in that I am not banded but new to this forum. I need to lose about 110 lbs and I'm sure like all of you, have tried every darn diet known to man, and lost the same 40 lbs over and over again, and gained each time afterwards. The last thing I did was go to BMI (Bariatric Medical Center) here in Ottaa. The people and doc there were great and I learned how to track calories, etc but ultimately gained back everything and more. My knees are aching and I am having trouble staying on my feet for long. I'm seriously thinking of banding but I am terrified of getting it and having it not work... and of course getting more weight gain. do any of you regret doing the lapband. Is it worth the money? Anyone in Ottawa do the surgery? (I haven't found anyone.) How about the clinic in Montreal? I'm sorry this is rambling. Any replies would be appreciated.

Hi there - am really thinking seriously about banding. I have about 110 lbs to lose - gee, that was like an AA confession but its finally sinking in that I really am that overweight! I have been fooling myself and really avoiding the mirror. I am near Ottawa,Ont, Canada and would sure like some info about who does the surgeries around here or close by in Quebec (Montreal?) Glad to be here and I'm sure I'll get a lot of info.:scared2:
