When I eat.
canadiangirl replied to Thegirlnextdoor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just banded on the 20th, and I get pain in my chest as well. I am on full fluids, but even when I drink Water I have it and I only have to drink small quantities to get the pain. (1/4 cup) . The only good thing about it, is that I am not hungry when it happens!!! Good Luck....I feel your pain!!! LOL -

TLBC Clinic- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
canadiangirl replied to *Love*'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on November 20th at TLBC, I think that if you live in Ontario, TLBC could be a good choice. Dr. Yau was very good to me, he answered all of my questions before my surgery and spoke to me afterwards as I was leaving the clinic. I do think that the ladies (not the nurses they were fabulous) in the office tell you what you want to hear for your initial consult. I was told that there was a Fill Dr. in Edmonton....then I find out that there isnt't one (by a fellow bandster) I confront them and they say that they are training a Dr. for fills and that he should be ready to start doing fills when my surgery is done....well, after my surgery I was told that I need to come back to Toronto for my first fill because Nancy is great at it, I will recieve a lot of info that day and it would be easier for the NEW fill Dr. in Edmonton to find my port if there is saline in it. Needless to say, out of towners should consider Mississaugua, they seem to have more fill Dr's around.I think post-op care is important. -
You guys are sooo lucky, i'm not allowed to have full fluids until Tuesday and then after 7 days I can go on mushies. :laugh: Surgery Date: November 20th

Well I did it!!! I was the first patient of the morning, and my husband was told 25min later that my surgery went great. They released me from the hospital 3 and 1/2 hrs. after my surgery in a anesthetic stupor. I slept the rest of the day and flew home at 2pm the next day. I felt good except for some pain at my incision sites, and some pain trying to sit up or lie down,and laughing was painful (my husband is really funny which didn't help) but other then that its not as bad as I thought it was goimg to be. I hope everyones surgery went great and you all have a speedy recovery!!!!

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on the 20th, I don't have any gas pains, just some pain at my incision sites. My surgery only took half an hour....I still can't believe I did it....we did it!!!! I will be on liquids for the next few weeks...I hope that goes well.:smile2: Good kuck on a speedy recovery for everyone.

Notorious November Weightloss Spreadsheet
canadiangirl replied to Froggi's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I find it ridiculous that I am discussing a glitter word. LOL, I own a very successful business, make 6 figures a year, and have chosen to take some time off to prepare and have this surgery in 2 days, and I'm not stressed over my surgery as much as this glitter nonsense! I don't know if it is because of my pre-op diet, or because I quit my nicorette gum 2 days ago or both that the little things are getting to me... really getting to me. I am a grown woman and need to put things into prospective.... a glitter sign....really....c'mon Yesterday i recieved a Private Message to please remove a Notorious Novembers Banner, that they made,...I removed it and sent her a message back that I would, and that I was sorry!! Everything is done I moved on and then...well.......I go to the spreadsheet page and it is a topic of discussion, I FELT like i was infringing on someones creativity...Stealing....How Dare I.....and then a link was posted because the same thing happened to someone elses(some one stole JME's) OMG!!!! Jme this is a support page, I don't need to be bothered with the petty things. Please stop stirring the pot!! I do appreciate all of the kind emails and support i've received from you all. My daughter suprised me and made a Notorious Novembers banner...I really didn't want one after the "situation", but she made it on her tablet PC (not on a generic site), she drew it free hand and told me that everyone can use it, I know that these banners can be infantile but this banner came from a young girls heart. Please lets move on!!! -
Our week finally arrived!!! Good Luck everyone!!! Surgery Date: November 20th, 8:00am

Hi Roxy, Thanks
for the response today! I hope I didn't come across as a B****! I am on a pre-op diet and I quit my nicotine gum...so when I read that I had to respond. Thanks for your support. I didn't even want to put another banner up but my 15 year old daughter has a tablet for her PC and drew the Notorious Novembers Banner on her computer, so I felt obligated to her, she suprised me! She made it for everyone to use if they like! -

Notorious November Weightloss Spreadsheet
canadiangirl replied to Froggi's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
To all November Bandsters, I am the culprit. I did copy and paste a Notorious Novembers Glitter Sign. This has been a very humbling experience for me...I did not realize that I was infringing on anyones creativity. I canadiangirl do solemly swear to NEVER take a GLITTER SIGNATURE without that persons consent. I am not familliar with forums like these, I am not schooled in netiquette, so please be patient with me. Please accept my deepest apologies Froggi. I did not realize the time and effort that was put into the designs...and now I do. Relax everyone crisis is averted, I have removed the glitter sign!!!!! -
Hey, Great Job on your weightloss, I CAN relate to the bitchiness but today i'm feeling better. Maybe its the protein I got today! And yes WE will get through this... you are so positive, it's rubbing off! Thanks Cappy

Hi Cappy,
I heard about muscle milk, it's supposed to taste good. The thing I hate the most is having to spend money on these huge jars of protein mixes to find out they taste like $%!# ! However I did go to my grocery store today and they had a protein drink there...they sold them individually thank goodness...I brought it home and tried it....and it was DELICIOUS! there was no protein drink taste to it at all! It was so good that i even made a thread about it, you must try it if you like mocha cappuccinos....it tastes EXACTLY like a mocha frappuccino from Starbucks. I am so happy I found something good. If you try it let me know its called..Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino I heard that you can get it at Wal-Mart.
Talk to you soon!

canadiangirl replied to canadiangirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'll have to look for the Hazelnut flavour, and I'm glad you told me that Wal-Mart sells them...I'll have to go to Wal-Mart and see if they have them there in Alberta. Thanks Texas! -
