Hi everyone, I may not be there tonight as I have a 2 day course Thursday and Friday that I need to prepare for. Our first surgery day here for Lap Band is next Wed ,so we are all busy preparing for this great day!! Not 100% sure if not coming yet......depends how much I can get thru today!! Cheers Rhonda

And the winner is ( insert drumroll here :laugh:) CHOCOLATE!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

I will be having clients beginning their pre-operative diet soon. I am wondering if anyone can give me their opinions of different flavors !! Thanks Rhonda

Congrats on your success!!!:biggrin: I love hearing positive stories!!

There may be some new faces soon. Any new patients from us I am trying to get to support groups in person or at least online! I think hearing from people having gone through the gastric band process is very helpful. Rhonda

I am still working on our facility doing fills. It is taking so long as everyone is away for the summer!! Keep you all posted!! Rhonda

Sent you an email!!! I missed the last meeting but will be attending the next! Rhonda

Sorry I missed tonight's meeting. My sister-in-law just had a baby and needed help. Look forward to the next meeting in August. Rhonda

Sorry everyone....I guess I broke forum rules with my info post on local lap band surgery. so my post was flagged and deleted. I did look for forum criteria, but did not see any!! Anyways... certainly not here to break rules!!

I just wish to thank the support group ( Lions Gate ). I attended my first meeting, June 17th. As I said in the group, I am the RN Coordinator for the Lap Banding Program we are starting up this summer at False Creek Surgical Center. I made a separate post regarding the program with the info. I am hoping to get things started before summer's end!! I know that having a local choice for this procedure is needed! At the meeting, one of the questions was regarding if we would provide fills to other banded patients. I am still clarifying this with our medical director and will post this info as soon as I receive it. I do not want to post wrong information here!! I look forward to future sessions and hear everyone's Lap Band experience. See you at the next meeting. Thanks Rhonda
