My Fellow Albertans! If you are able, and need your band adjusted, I am organizing a Fill Day in Edmonton, AB on Thursday, October 10th and then in Calgary, AB on either Friday, October 11th or Saturday, October 12th. If you are interested, please contact me! If you can't make those dates, reach out to me anyways and we can talk about options. Hope I can help those Slimband / CIBO / Smartshape / other lapband bandsters that need support! Hugs, Niki

I'm 11 years in.... still at goal weight. Happy Bandster here!

Stella, I have a connection for people that have been banded, are at a lower BMI than what would normally qualify one for weight loss surgery, and want to convert from band to sleeve, DDS, or bypass. Message me if you want to talk!!!

Hi Joester! I can help you! Message me and we can talk!

There are a lot of banded patients in Canada that no longer have a contact to have their band adjusted (fills / defills). If you are one of them, please reach out to me - I may be able to help.

Fellow Bandsters In Ontario: I am organizing a fill day in Toronto on Saturday, September 28th and in Barrie, Ontario on Sunday, September 29th. If anyone is in need of a band adjustment, please reach out to me. ??????????

I agree - leak, or latch of the band came undone, or a slip up to the top of the stomach.... an endoscopy would also help to see the placement of the band. A cat scan can also identify placement.

Hi Dis-S... DM me, I would like to talk to you about your options on having it removed. I am sorry that this happened to you! I have had my Slimband for 11 years and I am trying to offer my support to those that have been feeling abandoned now that the company is no longer doing the surgeries and do not have the support that they once had or promised.

Hi beach64 and bikerbabe40 - I can help you connect with someone that does fills / defills for a very reasonably price! Please DM me for more information!

hahaha, in this instance, Sharing Is NOT Caring!!! I will DM you to chat more. We must have been banded really close to the same time! I was March 20th, 2008

Hey everyone! Where do you go these days to get your band adjusted? How much? How easy/difficult?

Julie: so when you don't fly are you still rather restricted? In other words, do you think your band is too tight on a regular basis so that it requires loosening when you fly? or is it fine but as soon as you get in the air, it is like you've been given a 1.0cc fill? I'm curious.... What do you have: the 4cc LAPBAND? Thanks for sharing!

Hi ladies, my two cents: I have had my band for 10 years and never noticed any difference when traveling, and I travel often.

Hi everyone following on this thread! While many of these posts are years old, I wanted to let you know that there is a group of bandsters coming together in the Barrie area on November 17th, 2018 for fills (or defills if this is necessary!) If you are interested, please let me know! Warm regards, Niki

Hi Bri! I had a full body lift by a great surgeon in Ajax. My scar is pencil thin and faint. Recovery was great. DM me for more info! :)
