  13. Hey now...ya my wife did get it done too she got hers done in may...onmi in regina is cheaper thats cool....you can go back to linda pretty much when u feel like it...BUT...she will take it slow...no ten hour drive...3 fills aand i am at 6cc that getting close to sweet spot...

  14. Ya it was not cheap i got about two thousand off my surgery because they were having a special deal on in june when i got mine done..you cant think too much about the money i didnt care i was at a bad place last spring i had to quit my job i was hurting so bad or lose wieght u should not regret having the surgery the sooner you get going and eating right things will go well for u

    how much weight do you have to lose? are you tall? i am 5"11 and was 404 when i started this...bmi was f'n way up there that was for sure....back to the money thing i said to the wife if it costs me this much and i only lose 50lbs was it worth it and i said yes i have never been small i am at the same weight i was 12 years ago when i got married so i am happy i sit all day and drive truck so ido NOT work out i hope when i lose enough weight i can start....makes me kinda made that i have wasted all this time not working out...just think how much weight i could have lost if i did

  15. Hey pablo ya linda mcphee is great. she is pretty good and gives good advice she has had her band for 2 1/2 years now so what better person to ask...linda gave me like 2.5 cc on my first fill...i am up too 6 cc and have had three fills....think i had 1.5 in my band when i came home from surgery....everyone is differant but cant believe the 1cc for first fill

  16. Hey dont want to jump on the maples bashing band wagon but i have not been back to maples since i had surgery....they started using the nurse right after i had mine....my wife and i use the fill nurse we found here....she is great...never felt the need to drive 12 hours for nothing....sorry to here about that....so heres what u do....two choises wait about a week and go get another fill in regina....or wait till after xmas to go see her....not sure what u want to do.....not much fun at xmas learning how to eat and PB 'n all over the place and trust me u will throw up basicly learning how to eat again...send me a personal message for details on the fill nurse if u need her.....good luck....things r going to change:):):)

    just snowed this past few days in regina,sk ..i did not need my work winter jacket until now... i am now a size 3xl from a 5xl. just forgot about how big i really was.... brought up some emotion....last winter i could barely walk, made up some lame reason not to go out hunting with my boys. 75 pounds ..wow i sat in the gate seat in the hunting truck this year.( anyone that doesn't know what that is you r the one that gets out and opens and close's the fence gate's 14 total ) had a great day hunting. i remember sitting and reading all these stories before LAP-BAND®® and wondering could i do it. lots of money... go into debut ...could a man that sits all day and drives truck lose.....could i take the leap...could I do it..YES.. it is my time....if you are reading this and wondering could YOU could do this..THE ANSWER IS

    Couples being banded??

    My wife and i got banded. hers in may and me in june. i had made up my mind to get this done before i even talked to her. so she came along to make sure i would be ok then when we got to the clinic the docs said i has to lose some wieght before surgery but my wife was ok to go n have it done. i was suppose to be first so she was scared. its been great she is off her bp's pills and i have lost alot so its been good. understanding and letting the other person deal with there own eating habits is the real big kicker. mine was eating to fast and too much , so the band has made me see my problems from the start.
  21. Tough for your husband i would for sure look into regina. i have not been back to maples yet just for the fact of the fill nurse is good in regina. real good knows her stuff and the way everyone talks on here u only see the docs sometimes at maples. hope to See u n your husband sometime.
