I had headaches

Hi Dawn, I was really nervious too. I flew to Toronto the morning of my surgery, checked into the hotel and went right to TLBC. It gave me no real time to think about it that day. I waited about a min in the waiting room and they took me in to sigh papers , get changed, weighed, met the doctors and then off to the OR. It was very fast and they were all so nice. answered all my questions. Don't worry it will all be fine Congratulations on your decision :clap2:

Well went to TLBC for my fill on Friday , and quess what , the persom who does it was not there and was not coming in even thouhj I had confirmed with her on Tuesday ! Well the person who was there was able to give me the fill. I will be calling there on Monday. I made a special trip to fly down !

good advice !

Mandi you have done so well ! Any diet advice that has worked well for you ?

I feel the same way astrotoes !

well I started with 5cc but needed a 1cc defill. I hope I get 2cc and I am able to drink water.

Why is tight then ig goes ? where does it go ?

Yes there will be lots of venders, with hip belts, music, t shirts as well as full costumes. There will be bellydancers from around the world peforming & giving workshops for the weekend. We will have 8 hr of dancing a day. I can't wait ! Ihave been dancing for 4 years. Keep up the dance class, it will soon be part of your blood !

Let us know how it goes, I am in the same boat !

How sad Yoda, We don't eat there ,but it is a whole class up on the Days inn where our dance school gets a discount. I love the Adult only pool / hot tub that stays open until midnight and you can see the skyline while you are sipping on you drink ( as long as it is in a plastic cup ) We will be there from this Wed to Sun as Toronto is having an international Bellydancing Conference for the weekend.

I thought that I would feel some restriction after the first, and I did for about a min. Now nothing ! I have 4cc in now, how much will they put in on Friday ? I am really trying to stick the fisg , fruit and veg's and stay away from the pasta and bread. It is going pretty good. Although I did have a meat and cheese sandwitch with out the bread last night. I know I as weird. I have been to the gym three times this week , which is three times better then last week !

I wasa told there was a medical rate there, but when I calle4d they told me no. SOOOOO I stayed at the Delta chelsea, no discount but has the best beds. I will be back there in two days.

Well I was banded on Feb 2, at TLBC .my phone consult was two weeks before that. I was rushed to have the pre op done, but every thing went fine. Best of luck to you

That is my biggest probles too. I really need to slow down, and think ! I feel I need more restriction, My next fill is on Friday.

I told two people, DH and one friend who came with me for the surgery. I told no one else, and I am not planning on it. I have a friend ( sort of, who always talks about everyone elses short comings, I know that she would tell everyone about this and laugh at me as well , Good friend ) This is private.

Lie, lie, lie

Great reminder. I think I will take out my package and read it again

I had restriction up to my first fill. Now I do have a little more. My biggest probles is the chewing and slowing down when I eat.

I would not have been so stressed about the surgery, It was not bad at all !

If I could go to the TLBC support meetings, I would be there, but since that is not possible, Weight watchers gives me some structure. Besides I like the stickers ! I do work with 5 year olds haha

I paid $16,000 at TLBC and it was the best thing I have ever done. I am only two months out. I love it.

Way to go Donna D !

I go to weight watchers. I like it, I need a group meeting every week. I have lost 85 lbs with then before. I have not told them about the band, but I was going before I was banded. I go with a group of women from work and then we go for coffee.

What conference ? On Tuesday when I was in Toronto it was a lovely day, a little rain , but not bad.Fly back to Thunder bay and I am in winter hell !!! I do feel restriction as well. My problem is the chewing and eating slow. When I was there on Tuesday, they told me to drink lots of Water all day up until you eat . That may help me get used to the little sips. Got to work on that !
