Lap Band Support Group Montreal



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

My name is Jay and I was banded November 18th 2011 by Dr. Steven Miller in Montreal. One of the things I feel is lacking in Montreal is a support group for fellow bandsters. I would like to start one. My thoughts are we could start with a monthly group and if it is successful move to bi-weekly.

If you are interested please email me at jayrobertson76@hotmail.com or reply to this post with your cotact email

I would be happy to host the first support meeting in my home and will reach out to see if I can get a guest speaker(ie. nutritionist, successful bandster etc..)

Thanks for reading

Jay

Hello Jay,

I was banded at l'Hotel Dieu de Montreal on June 15th 2011 and I also feel that there aren't enough support groups. I think you have a great idea and keep me in touch. I'm not from Montreal but would like to go to a meeting if possible.

Godd luck on you journey and keep me posted

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
