  1. Oh gosh! Sorry this took so long but I got soooo sick for a few days after getting the ban. I couldn't move I was throwing up all the time. It was crazy. Tomorrow it's a week after and I finally get eat something. We will see how well it goes down.

     

    How are you?

  2. Hi momwifelove!

     

    We are having our surgery on the same date! Isn't that cool? Maybe we could support each other and help out each other. What is your start weight? I'm 245. Where are you getting your surger? I'm getting it at the SWLC in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Are you worried about the surgery at all? I'm more worried about the pre-diet and stuff.

     

    I wish you lots of luck!!!!

    Your Pal,

    Cammy

  3. We are getting banded on the same day!!! So cool!!! I wish you so much luck! I would love to talk to you about how you are doing and stuff.

  4. That's awesome that you can touch your toes!!! I wish I'll be able to do that soon enough. :o) So your cousin has the same date for surgery as me. That sooooo cool! I wish you both soooo much luck!

  5. Hi Paigel!

     

    I love the wedding picture! And your husband looks almost the same as mine! ha ha! I want to thank you for all the kind words you wrote to me. When and where are you having your surgery? I'm July 29th in Mississauga Ontario. Hopefully we can suport each other each step of the way.

    Your Pal

  6. I'm going July 29. I'm at the SWLC in Mississauga, Ontario. I didn't have to go for a physical first. I just went to the clinic.

  7. Thanks so much for the kind words Mamabutercup! I'm hoping that this will work for me. How have you found it so far?

  8. Wow that's pretty harsh too! When it comes from someone you love, it always hurts soooo much more.

     

    When are you going under the knife?

  9. Hi Amy!

     

    I'm in the Toronto area, Brampton to be exact. You told your parents? I haven't told anyone other then my husband... they would look at me as a failure if I told them. But my parents are pretty harsh about weight.

  10. Hi Amy!

     

    I was thinking we could support each other. Email me: cammy_pilon@yahoo.ca

  11. Pre-op is a hard diet but I hope I can do it. After surgery it's liquids again for a week. There are pains but the good thing about the SWLC is that they are always there so if you have a problem you can always call.

     

    I asked if anyone of his patients had died, (no). Would you be able to see the band or anything after the weight loss, (no). Does the $16000 include fills, (yes). Do you need lots of fills, (depends on the person). Do I have to take a week off work, (depends on what you do, in my case 3 days is good). Do I need someone to take me home, (yes and be there with you the full day). Can my husband be in the surgery room (no). Is there lots of scaring (no). Is a balloon optional (no). If I want to remove it is it extra, (yes if you want it removed just because, no if it needs to be replaced or in an emergency).

     

     

    Hope that helps!

    email me sometime: cammy_pilon@yahoo.ca

  12. Why are you worried you won't be approved? I think everyone gets approved as long as they are BMI is higher then 35. So don't worry it will be fine.

     

    Hope that helps!

  13. Well guys always go nuts about money... unless it's for a car or something they like. I'm getting a credit line to cover it. Credit lines only have 5% interest instead of the 20% for financing.

     

     

    Hope that helps!

  14. hi Juwel!

     

    Dr. Cobourn is an awesome surgeon! I've heard amazing things! He's also very nice. But be ready for your husband to freak out at $16000 for it. If you are like me it's a lot of money but it's worth it if it works. If you decide to do it email me your surgery date! Try to get July 29 so we can do it together! :o) Cammy

  15. Hi Kristie!

     

    My name is Cammy, (AKA Cammafacation). I just saw your pictures (before and after) that's amazing! You look young like me. I'm just wondering (since I haven't had the surgery) was it really hard? Were you in a lot of pain?

     

    Thanks

    Cammy
