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.

i am excited and scared. but i can not wait for this. yeah my friends keep telling me that

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!)

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!

Paulax · February 19, 2006

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?

emtbaby4 · February 19, 2006

i live in suffolk county newyork

argon · February 19, 2006

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'd like to here from Crazycanuck and anyone else banded by Dr. Cobourn. How was your experience? I have a meeting set up with him for the end of March.I have to say I'm really nervous about the procedure, but excited that this could be the answer, finally!!
