I just had LAP-BAND® surgery this week. I am wondering if there is anyone here from Saskatchewan? Thanks!

Hi

I live in Ontario. My husband and I both have lapbands and went to Toronto, Slimband clinic. Our daughter is in northern Saskatchewan and is just looking into lapband surgery and must travel to Regina. Is that where you had surgery? When did you have lapband surgery?

I just found your posts and I see that they are old by a couple of years but....I am from Saskatchewan! I live in Saskatoon. I was just banded on February 19, 2013! I had it done at Aspen Medical Surgery (used to be called Omni) Dr. Pooler is wonderful and the entire staff is terrific. I am still very sore and very full feeling. I have had a very upset stomach the last two days. I am now down a total of 23 pounds since my pre-op optifast diet so I am very pleased with my results so far.

I am from Regina as well. Looking forward to surgery on the 7th of May 2013.

hi,

i am in saskatoon and i am waiting for a surgery date for gastric bypass in regina with dr pooler in august/september. went through the surgical assessment unit at regina health district. only one in sask. met a few people travelling from winnipeg due to shorter wiat list times.

not a lot of people in my life are aware of my decision, its good to see the support on this forum!! thanks!

Hi I am in Saskatoon as well - welcome! I was banded in February. I am sure we can support each other even though the surgeries are a little different.
