I saw dr coburn in Mississauga. He is so down to earth. The nursing staff are always there to answer your questions. It is called the plastic surgery clinic

I went to Slimband. There aren't a lot of Slimband people on here because we have our own private community. Slimband was great! Everyone has been so nice and helpful, and the support team is always there for me when I have questions. I am 3 weeks post-op today

SWLC in Mississauga with Dr. Cobourn. I researched the lap band for almost a year and SWLC kept showing up as being one of the best.

Have not been disappointed. I love my lap band !

Way to go! I would have to call him dr. Dreamy...his personality matches his looks, he's a nice nice man and very easy on the eyes. He just did my gall bladder operation 2weeks ago. His nursing staff is excellent , best of luck ( you won't need it though) . 2 weeks of Protein Shakes coming up, just grin and bear it and reach out if you need help/advise.

I too went to SWLC. I chose it because dr C took the time to always answer questions, his staff were/are supportive and knowledgable and there was great follow up done. Dr c has a great bedside manner and sense of humour. Anesthetist was fantastic too. . All round great experience. I only had surgery 2 weeks ago, so I haven't had a fill yet.

This is great to hear. I'm new to this forum but have been reading and absorbing as much information as I can. I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Cobourn on October 17. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Knowing that a lot of his patients endorse him make me feel that I will be in good hands.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
