Hiya...check out the threads on the Canada thread....there was some mentioning of some docs. in BC there! Good luck.... :canada: :canada:

yoooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooo.... waiting!!!!

excellent news! You're on your way!!

That is AWESOME Cloe!! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! How was the trip home on Fri up the 400? Uneventful, I hope! So, my friend, you and I are sorta at the same point! I went out to dinner last night and I had some poached eggs....and a bite of soft toast with jam on it. YUMMY. I'm not so sure if I was "full" afterwards but I didn't eat much but I think it was more out of fear than being full!! I'm reallly paranoid right now to eat much anything solid....!!! Anyhoooo, way to go!!! :scared:

Yup....the public (especially the Canuck public) want to know!!! *shoves mike in Argon's mug (face!)* So, Mandi....tell us....we want to know, how is NB life compared to SK life? Details please! - job info - living arrangement info - people info - shopping info - town info (where the heck are ya livin' in NB anyways?) - boyfriend info (most important!) Any regrets? Happy? Content? Satisfied? DETAILS DETAILS!!!! Sadly yes, we are a nosy bunch. (to be completely honest though, Cloe and CanadaSunshine put me up to this!). I'm merely the one who chose the short stick!!! :scared: :)

I'm in too. Hoping K@t received my info! :scared:

Hey Diane....you have a great attitude, really you do...just let it work for you. I truly believe that you can be at a plateau for a long time and then all of sudden...booom...it'll happen. Case in point...our post-op coord (who got the band 5 yrs ago) "only" lost 35 lbs in her first year. The second year, she lost 90 lbs!!!! And she is at goal and maintaining. So, even if things look "dim"....it can turn around for the better!!! Keep up the great work!! And don't forget about your past accomplishments/success as you strive for those next 30 lbs! :confused:

GOOD LUCK CLOE!!!!!! I'm sure it will go well; be sure to come tell us about it! Also, be safe on the drive...especially comin' home...you know how crazed those cottage country folks are when they are escaping TO on their way up the 400!!! Just be patient and take it easy. PS: don't use concrete, it weighs more and that'll just defeat the purpose!!! :heh:

Mr. Loriely: hehe.... Thanks for the update...that is GREAT that it went well. Treat her good....cause you'll be in her shoes in just over a month!!!! :confused:

I think it is okay now....after 2 days of errors.... hmmmmmm hope this will now be the status quo!!

Thanks for sharing, Ali...and oh yeah.. WELL DONE!!!! :clap2: :clap2:

Don't forget that lapband has been around MUCH MUCH longer than 2001...just not in North America; for instance Australia and some European countries have been doing it for over 15 yrs!

YIPPPPEEEE KIYAAAAAA!!!! Okay, for those of you who followed by "not so fun" fill saga last week (see thread on "Frickin' Fills") I do believe the Force was with me today!!!! Dr. Yau found my port right away (by find, I mean stuck it with the needle)....although I had to stand up for him to do it and he said it was very tricky...it has re-positioned slightly so that it is a wee bit angled. He is my hero for having got it! BUT....get this....on 1 Jun (first fill) I had 5 ccs put in (by nurse) and a few days later I had another 2 put in (by Dr. Joffe) because I was feeling no restriction for a total of 7 ccs. OR SO I THOUGHT!!! Today, Dr. Yau pulled it all out to check and I only had 2 ccs in there!!!! (not 7!!). NO WONDER I had no restriction!!! We figure that the nurse actually missed the first fill and it went into netherland and not my port. OKAY, so today he put in 4 ccs....giving me a total of 6 ccs. I sat in the waiting room to drink my Water and was having a tough time but at least I felt SOMETHING!!!! whooo hooooooo! But I was quite uncomfortable just sipping water so he took out 1 cc....leaving me with 5 ccs (what I was SUPPOSED to have on June 1st!!). So, I'm basically where I should have been on 1st of June...but for real this time!!! I'm just so dang happy that I feel something! I don't know if it will end up being enough or the sweet spot but I have restriction!!!! (I think....I won't be trying food for a day or so...but I do feel "something" with the water). The next time I have a fill though, the Dr. wants me to go to the hospital he works from and have it done under x-ray....just so he can have a looksie. I don't mind....I have something now!!!! The "feeling" is no longer a mystery to me....(I don't think!). hehehe...yup, I'm happy. BTW, I met a fellow LBTer there today (Loriely); she was having her surgery this afternoon...I also met her husband....(he is having surgery in Aug)...it was kewl to meet them. Anyways, okay...just wanted y'all to know that there was a happy ending to my fill saga, after all. ....hmmmm....now if I can just remain a PB virgin!!!!!

I met Loriely today at TLBC while she was awaiting her surgery. Also met her hubby (he gets banded in Aug). She gets back home today... WELCOME TO BANDLAND!!! Let us know how it went when you are up and about etc....and able to come say "hi". Hope it went well!!! Enjoy the wedding on Sat (yup, she's off to a wedding on Sat...not hers though!!! LOL Imagine!!).

MMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ya buggers....I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!! Good try but ya can't get rid of me THAT easy! For info on how my fill went today...check out the thread I'm about to put in the "support" section.....(so all can see and not just us Canucks!). Hey, I met Loriely at the Centre today....she was just about to go for her surgery when I left. My husband and I had a nice chat with her and her hubby (he is getting banded as well....near end of Aug). It was kewl to meet them.

Okay, so tomorrow I go to Toronto again for a second try at my 3rd fill. Wish me luck. I'm trying to be optimistic. I called today to confirm that the doc WOULD be there. If he can't get it.....well....if he can't ...then grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I will be an unhappy and disappointed camper. I'm a lil' anxious about it all ...in lieu of what happened last week....but here I go again!!! *finger, toes and all other extremeties crossed*

Okay....so out of curiosity, I signed in under another user name and I have nooooo problem getting into the Canada thread under THAT name (same computer).....???? WTF??? Why can't "Yoda" get in there??? :cry I sent an e-mail to the techie person (I think I did it right) for some clarification on this...but it is very confusing to me.

Alright...this is getting ridiculous!!! Seriously, everytime I attempt to enter the Canada thread I'm STILL getting a "technical error" and I can't get in...yet I have nooooooooooooo problems coming into any other thread!!!!??? WHASSSSSUP with that? It would make sense if it were all of them, but why just that one? And, we're talking EVERY time, so it isn't just a coincidence!!! Thoughts anyone?

so very kewl....congrats!

well, it takes a sickie to know a sickie!!!

Hmmmmm....for the last lil' while everytime I try to get into the Canada thread...there is a problem...(it says a technical problem)....yet I have no probs getting into any of the others. Anyone else having this problem??? :cry

howdy...sorry this might seem like a silly query...but what does it mean that it is a "working" theme? By giving our occupations...does that have something to do with it? Do we give something that is related to the occupation of the person whose name we get? Sorry if it is a silly query; just want to have it straight in my head before I sign up! Tks.

toes crossed too!

Holy crap....did anyone see her on the Red Carpet for the premiere of "Pirates" in London??? She is the poster child for a starving refugee.....OMIGAWD...she is sooooooooooooooooo beyond skinny now, I was STUNNED! It's really awful. How can she NOT have an eating disorder? Her transformation is amazing....even since the last Pirates movie. She looked her best in "Bend it like Beckham"....fit and healthy. Migawd...wait until you see her from the other day. I don't normally comment on skinny celebs but this takes the cake! (obviously she doesn't!).
