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



Recommended Posts

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.

Hi Heather, I am from outside of London and am being banded in Sarnia at the end of September. How has your experience been? Any Advice?

:thumbup:

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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
