Hello,

I am new to the site.

I am not banded yet, but I think it i something that I would like to do. I am a little scared when it comes right down to it. Can you feel the port site, will it sitck out after you lose the weight ? Are there any Canadian health insurance companies that cover it ? I have not picked a clinic, but it will be in Toronto. Any advice ?

Yasmina:p

    Welcome Yasmina!

    Do a search for the Canadian Local Support Group. There are several very active threads with Canadians. I'll bet they can answer your questions. Good luck!

    Hi Yasmina, come and post in the Canada site. I wasn't banded in Toronto but several members have and I'm sure they can answer any of your questions.

    By the way, welcome and congratulations on your decision.
