New "Bander" - London, Ontario - looking to connect with others

Hello! My name is Heather and I was banded on April 5th. I'm looking to connect with others in the London area who have been banded. I was banded in Toronto and travel there for fills etc.

Looking for key contacts to buddy with on this journey!

Hi: Suggest you contact your clinic and ask for their support website as well as you can go to canadianlapbanders.com. Coffee meetings are advertised on this site for Toronot and surrounding areas.

Hi Heather - I'm in London (Ontario right?) I was banded 2 yrs ago in Sarnia.

Problems ever since and I've just had a it removed in March.

I'd like to talk to more people before I decide if I will have it done again.

Hey Heather! Welcome to the club. I don't check on here very often but would love to meet up sometime. I am a year and a half out and losing slower than most. I am from Stratford. Hope your journey has been smooth so far.

Kacy, you are not slower then most. A lot of folks are struggling with the band ans loosing weight.

Went to my family MD and he recommended them. Are they ok? How do I reply in this forum without attaching the initial comment?

no idea about the second question. first one, there was a dr there who left and does not deal with patients he did surgery on but new one does. just find out if he leaves if after care or surgery that may need to be redone will be covered
