I'm in the Vancouver area and I'm starting the process to be banded. Appointment with my GP tomorrow to talk about the different routes I could take, and I'm considering going to Mexico to have the surgery done.

So I can't offer much advice right now, but can offer an ear and kind support.

Where are you in your process?

Hey guys, I really can't be much help, as I've only started talking to my dr, but I live in Burnaby and it's great to see that there are others in the lowermainland who are on here too! It's good to have the support, and really nice to have local support.

Joanne....My surgery is booked for July 28th, 2010 with Dr.Woodhead in Ladner. He is great and the process was really quick. 2 weeks for my assessment appt and then surgery was booked 1 month later. contact me on email if you want to contact further. I am looking for people in the lower mainland who want to share experiences, give each other support, and maybe met once a month or so to chit chat about the whole thing. I also know that he does fills for people who have gone to mexico, etc ..but I was to chicken and wanted it done locally, looking forward to hearing from you to be a band buddy. email soap4kids@hotmail.com

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
