Ponic just curious. Did you self pay to have the band removed? If so what did it cost?

I really miss our forum board and I feel like there is no support out there for us.

I did get approved for another fill by slimband..They are still doing fills but I chose to go to a doctor they suggested since he is closer to me. Now for complications etc I'm not sure what they will do..

I had my band put in by slimband too in 2015...Did you hear anything about fills etc...i dont feel much restriction lately and was thinking of another fill..Let me know if you find anything out.

Thanks for the warm welcome.. My surgery will be done at a surgical centre downtown Toronto for day surgery. I go home the same day.. My friend would of had to go to a regular hospital because of her hernia operation a few years back...

So I guess in the states its always done in a hospital..The place im getting it has all the same stuff as a hospital but more of a private small hospital I guess...

Hoppy... good luck today.. Im excited to hear how it went..

Welcome JB I was having doubts too reading all the stuff online about banding.. I have surgery April 24 and it was a bit worrying about the bad reviews.. I know a guy who has had it done about 2 years ago and he said it was the best thing he has done.. I really think people that are dissatisfied tend to write more online about stuff.. Just like reviews for hotels etc. Lots of people get mad and just write stuff down but the happy ones usually don't comment about things..

Hope your surgery goes well and I will be happy to chat with you..

So where are you guy getting your surgery done? One girl said Mississauga Ontario

Hello I would like to join the April band buddies.. My surgery is April 24th and I am getting the Slimband in Toronto.. I am nervous and excited.. I have to do a 10 day low cal diet.. No carbs, no fat, no fruit.. I guess its not too bad but will be hard to find stuff I can eat...I would love to chat with you all and compare our progresses and different things we do as the time goes along.. Please keep this thread going as I need something to keep me going.. My best friend was going to get it done too but she had hiatis hernia operation a few years back and they were wanting to do her banding in the hospital and costing her an extra 2900 so she opted out.. Now I need a partner or even better a few partners to chat with..

It was nice meeting you all and hope we can chat..
