  1. Hi Yoda thanks for the warm welcome. What a small world eh? Have they lived here long?? I am in the east part towards Aldergrove. congrats on your weight loss 42 lbs wow that must feel good
  2. Wow Josette tell me... how is the recovery going??
  3. thank you elisabeth and thank you for your info..that helps. Do you mind if I ask when you got your LB and what your progress has been so far??
  4. Hi new member from Langley canada...hi all. How did you arrive at the decision to go to mexico?? I am aware that there are some local surgeons so what was the benifit??? It sounds like you have done your homework. Thanks for the info in advance..I heard about this procedure 2 hours ago so excuse my "newbie-ness".
  5. wow..I am scanning the forums and like all of you who have had this procedure, when you first heard about it and thought it may be for you....that is where I am. I have questions. 1. What does your BMI have to be to be a candidate. 2. What is a "fill" I am assuming that they blow up the band or something like that 3 Are the vast majority of you happy you did it and would you do it all over again if you had a choice?? 4 how hard is the recovery?? I have 2 little ones and cannot be down long. 5 Any canucks out there specifically in the Vancouver area that would know about local doctors? I am so happy for all of you that have found a solution "finally" I know what we have all been through. I am a 38 year old wife and mom of 2 in vancouver canada and it is very nice to meet all of you.
