Hi! Just trying to get acquainted with this site! I was banded in Sudbury, Ontario in May 2011.
My clinic is Thinlife surgical Weight loss in Sudbury, ON and my surgeon was Dr. Ravinder Singh.
I am very happy with my decision to have gastric banding! I started out at a weight of 289.4 - my BMI was 43.94. I was morbidly obese. I still cringe when I think about it. I am currently down to 227 and a BMI of 34.51. A total of 62.4 pounds lost.
I am feeling better than ever. I was on 2 blood pressure pills a day plus a Water pill and got off all of them in November!!
I am more active, I sleep better and am truly enjoying my life so much more!
The Thinlife team has been a great support system and has really helped me with my journey! I would recommend them to anyone thinking about the surgery as an option!!
