Oh man. A canadian, banded in Canada, posting in the Canada support page! Craaaaaziness!

Hey Cin. I'm in Saskatchewan. I'm at about 6 weeks to go to banding! I'm soooo excited. You should email me or something and tell me all about your experience with Cobourn, and how everything's going so far.

and Michele, you are tooo funny. ;)

lol ok.

How many of you are Canadians, and if you are, are you living in Canada? Cause... that's what I'm getting at with this question. :)

I'm looking to see who fellow Canadians got banded by IN Canada. Thank you anyway though.

Yes, I'm Canadian, from Montreal. I was banded by Dr. Christou.

Hello my fellow Canadians!

I'd be happy to email anyone and offer support. I actually met someone at Dr Cobourn's office from Winnipeg that I will be emailing soon. I would love to be a modern cyber penpal.

Your right about it being exciting. I was lucky, I had Christmas stuff to keep my mind occupied until January. I only started getting nervous after that.

I'm schedule for my first fill on March 10th and that has me a little concerned. Just because he's so far away (not compared to you of course!), if it's too full I'd have to take even more time off work. But alas, worrying about everyone else is part of the reason I'm in this predicament...anyway, when you're there, try to make a friend in the waiting room. (Not the recovery room...because you won't remember!)

Cindy

Hi There,

I was banded by Dr. Joffe/Dr. yau team at the Toronto Lapband Centre. They are my saviours!! Back in the day, $10K was the price.....3yrs ago. And worth every penny!

I am booked to be banded by Dr. Wai Leung in Surrey BC.

I believe there is another surgeon in Richmond, don't know his name. Other than that, I think Ontario.

What province do you live?

I don't think Paulax is talking to you, emtbaby4... seeing as where your from is stated just just under your name, and you've already told us about 4 times where and when you're getting banded. Oy.

Yeah, Paulax, you should specify who you're talking to when you post, if it's to someone in particular. Don't think it's me, cause I believe I said already.

:confused:

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
