North Van/Vancouver Bandster Meeting.



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone :)

I hope this finds you all doing well with your bands and living life to the fullest.

Some of you may 'know' me or remember me as I organized the North Vancouver bandster meetings at Lion's Gate Hospital for the last 5 years.

I will no longer be doing these meetings but have told Doreen (Doddie) that she is welcome to take over and use the room for meetings if she chooses. I'm sure she will post soon to let everyone know if there will be a meeting this month or not.

I have always enjoyed seeing you all and meeting some phenomenal bandsters but at this time I can not commit to the long drive every month for a meeting that has slowly been getting smaller and smaller. Don't get me wrong, I loved being there even if there were only 3 of us chatting.

If the meetings continue, either at Lion's Gate or another venue, hopefully I can arrange myself so that I can pop in now and then to catch up with you all.

Again, thank you for the support and taking the time to attend meetings, I enjoyed then more than you know. Keep supporting each other and helping each other as much as you can !!!

Feel free to drop me a note to let me know how you're doing, I'll look forward to hearing about your amazing journies.

All the best,

Patricia

Good Morning everyone,

I just recievec an email from Doreen and she will not be continuing the Lions Gate meeting. Unfortunately this looks like the end of the North Vancouver group.

I have not cancelled the use of the room at Lions Gate yet so if any of you would like to take over and organize a meeting, please let me know and I will make contact with them to let them know that we will continue to use the room.

Hopefully any of you that need support will be able to find some close and carry on with your journies.

Keep in touch, I enjoyed meeting all of you and sharing.

All the best,

Patricia

Hi Patricia,

I just emailed you asking about the meeting, then found this thread. I'm sorry the Lions Gate group has petered out. Seems interest was dwindling for awhile. False Creek Clinic is attempting to get one going & keep it regular. They may be looking for a space to meet so I'll pass along the idea of keeping the meeting room at LG. Hopefully they can open it up to all bandsters.

Hope all is well with you.

Lyn

      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! 😞
