Recommended Posts

Hi, is there anyone who knows of Doctors who do fills in Montreal or area? I live midway between Ottawa and Montreal. So far no surgeons in P.Qc., unless I am mistaken?

I heard that there is a doctor in Montreal - affiliated with McGill who does the procedure. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thank you to susansilver, Wheezy and litar, the list is really appreciated. Also, thanks for telling me that I can get a video that my GP can look over, I'm sure we could figure it out pretty easily. The information that everyone can provide on this site is quite amazing... It's also great that it's from people going through this procedure as well a being living proof it works...

Thanks for being there

Hi,

I was banded on 26th of August at Rockland Medical Clinic in Montréal by Doctor Henry Atlas. !! Everything went very well. We live in New Brunswick and we have onlly ONE doctor for all the Maritime. Dr S Beausoleil in Moncton. Of course do you think he takes somebody with only 40 BMI? Nope. He takes people with grave complication from obesity... so after of 11 hours driving in car, we went twice to Montréal: To meet Dr Atlas and bingo... for the surgery at Rockland Medical Clinic on August 26, 08.

Now I love to read all the forums on lapband because I am one of them.

God bless all of us who try hard to keep in shape.

l'hopital Pierre-Boucher of Longueuil has a new surgeon that do the lap band is name is Dr Hugo Diec He's the one that did ma surgery. You may be able to have a appointement with him

but the Rockland medical center seems the best choice since it's a private clinic

Thank you Geneviève for the information. I will keep his name. I have my pre-opt appointment with Dr Atlas at the end of October. At that time, I will probably need my 1st fill. So far so good. I am loosing slowly since I am back to school. My appetite is not realy back yet.

How are you doing? Did you have your first filling?

Hi Geneviève,

Coincidence.... I graduated from U of Moncton in 1997 in BED. I am a French Immersion Teacher for District 6. We live in Hampton.

As you know a doctor who does lapband surgery is so rare in the Maritime. Dr Beausoleir of George Dumont do not take any patient unless you are half dead!. So I choose to pay and go to Montréal (being born in St-Hyacithe area). I will see my doctor next month for my first fill.... I am still loosing slowly but my scale makes me smile now. What about you, when did you graduate? Do you work in your field?

Take care !

Madame Suzanne :smile2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
