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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
