Hi there, I am fairly new to LBT and banding. Only two weeks since surgery. Doing well and enjoying learning and getting to know some great people on here. Just wondering if there are many out on the west coast going through it too?

I am in Vancouver & was banded 1 year ago and 100lbs lighter . Welcome to banderland!

Cheers,

Kristi

Great to meet you! 100 lbs is amazing. Congratulations.

Thanks

I was just banded yesterday Mar 19 at cambie surg. centre, I am in North vancouver. Wow...I hope I'm 100 lbs successful or at least 80lbs.

Congrats anncm, I had my surgery there too February 13th of this year. Was at Cambie yesterday for my first fill. Nice to meet you.

I am in Langley had mine done sept 2010 and have lost about 70lbs

Cambie is planning on having a support meeting as we all met last spring. Have a good day all!

I am new to this site too. Had my surgery may 2012 in Toronto with dr Cobourn. But I live in Vancouver so have been getting fills at cambie surgery centre. I have been to the support group meetings at cambie and its been great meeting people and hearing their stories. You should come!

Hi,

I am going through the program at Garrett Wellness in Richmond. My surgeon is Dr. Nam Nguyen. Hoping to have surgery this summer. Was originally set on the lapband..... But opinionated people are making me second guess my decision and now I am also considering Sleeve. Starting weight was 360, I've lost 30 lbs on my own, hoping to lose another 30 before surgery leaving me with a goal of losing 100-120 lbs with the band.

Hi!

Not from Vancouver, but Kelowna. I was banded Nov 16, 2012 by doctor Tang in Victoria. Starting wait was 305, was just down there on Wednesday to follow up and I'm proud to say I weighed exactly 205 at my appt haven't had any fills, probably won't since I only want to lose another 35lbs because I am 5'10.

Best wishes on everybody's journeys!

How is everyone doing? I gained 12 lbs this summer and I am still struggling with the last 6 lbs! Plus I have chronic acid reflux that has gotten worse that has me making poor choices. So I am back to 2 hour workouts and protein shakes... The basics always work! Have a great weekend all!
