I wish I would have gotten a contract only because they changed there policies of what was going to be included with my $16,000 so many times.

Oh my gosh CG!! That is absolutely fantastic!! You look so great in your profile picture!

woo hoo! finally got time to come back on and see everyone who I have missed chatting with. Things are going well here and my weight is now going down again after a looooong plateau. I ended up adopting another dog to help make me get out for more walks. I am so pleased with Slimband and there efforts to find a closer fill doctor in the area which they have just announced they got one in Sudbury. I met with him and seen Belina and Nancy and got another fill yesterday. Whats going on with the rest of you ladies these days? Is everyone having a good summer? Whats been your challenges this summer?

Doddie..I am still so thankful for your support during my "rant" along with a couple others who helped me feel better and just let me blow some steam off . I couldnt just talk to anyone about this lapband because i didnt want anyone to know who was around me so I vented here. So I will always lend a sympathetic ear to anyone else who is in my position . Funny -when you take away the food that helps you cope with stress you are feeling pretty vulnerable and agitated until you learn how to deal with it. I love this website for all the wonderful people and support and i want to say thanks again!! :thumbup::thumbup::eek::thumbup::smile::thumbup::w00t::thumbup::thumbup:

no i did say her name. So i guess that was a no no. I was hoping that the big changes would help things out with slimband and their customers. I havent had to call them since my last fill. I hope things have improved for all who is taking this journey with them.

no i didnt give her permission. so i guess it can be a free for all. Sad thing is I was just repeating what TLBC told me and i got in trouble :w00t:.:tt1:

I have many "trolls" respond to me in the past...my favorite is on my profile page from Pretty in Pink...hmm she never posted before or since she wrote me her little note.

you are too funny!! The flick of a light switch might work for me.

Its taken me a little longer than I wanted to post this..dont know where the time has gone. In february I was delighted to know Slimband arranged a fill session only 2 1/2 hrs away from me and saved me a great deal of time and money so I wouldnt have to got to Toronto. Nancy was the fill nurse they flew in and she was great! My first fill at Slimband was extremely painful and took four needle insertions to find the port since mine has tilted. So needless to say I was terrified of the next fill. I was So happy with Nancy..I didnt even feel the needle!!! Plus I met a few other ladies with lapbands as well and we had a great chat. I needed a de-fill before I left because my water was getting stuck and now I think i have hit my sweet spot. Only frustrating thing is I'm not seeing a huge difference on the scale but my clothes are really baggy and I know thats that most important thing. I cant wait for the snow to GO and I can get outside more and get moving around more. How is everyone else doing on there journey?? This forum has been so quiet lately and I need to talk to my lapband ladies!!

Can anyone tell me what they did to reduce the look of the scars on their belly?

I'm just writing this because I wanted to tell the world .(pretty much) that I am now below the 200 lb mark..I havent seen the 100's in a LONG time....YIPPEE! Thanks to so many on here for giving me motivating words to keep me from being frustrated at my plateau. Life is great

Heres to a really speedy week for ya!! :wink: I hope it goes by painlessly LOL. :thumbup:

cute ticker mimi!! Glad its working for you. Congratulations on your weight loss as well :w00t:

Marivan I was the same as you ...I like Dr yau and he was straight to the point and he really listened to my concerns and answered them very well to ease my nerves. I didnt have much to ask him because my consultant did well with answering every one of my concerns leading up to the big day. I kinda felt awkward not having more to ask him after he left.

No..I havent heard anything about it.
