Banding in Toronto



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been looking into getting a band, I live in Toronto and wanted to know about all your experiences. Could anyone reccomend a good Doctor I went to the LaparoscopicBand Centre today. Thanks

That was the clinic I went to. I love Dr. Yau and the suuport from the staff has been great so far.

The other clinic is in Mississauga. Drs. Coburn and Mumford. I did not chooses that one because I live downtown and wanted something more convenient.

Perhaps that is a consideration for you as well.

Good luck

Oh my, you've got alot of posts asking the same question! I hope eveyone just picks this one!

If you're in the Toronto area, I'm sure you're only gonna hear raves about the TLBC and the SWLC (www.lapband.ca). The SWLC/Dr. Cobourn is who I went with, and I'm more than happy with it. I'd give them a visit and decide who you feel more comfortable with.

Good luck!

(just in case you're thinking I'm a jerk, I only didn't post the link to the TLBC cause I assumed she'd known about it because she'd been there?! Not a jerk! I'm not!)

their website used to list "Our Doctors", but now it just says "Our Doctor", so I imagine they just have one for now, Dr. Yau.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
