Has anyone had Dr. Mumford from the Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Toronto do their band? If so, what was your experience like with him? I'm going to have a consultation with him over the phone next week.

Thanks.

He's an angel. Nothing less. Kind, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and will still give it to you straight if and when you need it. You couldn't ask for a better surgeon. :gluck:

Dr McMumford......

Did you not know that he's in lurve with me. Don't tell anyone else but from the moment that he met me, he lurved me for who I was. He lurved every little riple of cellutlite, every little (OK so every large) roll I have. He has lurved me "just the way I am". So you see that we are in fact having a lurve affair. It's OK with me if you meet with him and have a consultation. It's OK with me if you even let him do the surgery, but I'll be darned... that you havr fills with him. OK so I'm delusional. Do what you have to do...but just remember that he is still and will always be in lurve with me.

Sincerely,

McWheezy

You guys are hysterical!!

Aren't we lucky that the three amigos Mumford/Colbourn/Yau are such good looking doctors? How can we NOT love them?

Both Dr. M. & C. are good and kind and all that good stuff but the real important people at the clinic are the beautiful nurses. They actually do the fills and the follow up visits. You could not ask for better people to help you. All the staff try to meet your needs and are very friendly.

Be sure you are in good hands with Dr. M. and friends.:clap2:

What I love about them are fat, skinny or banded, they all have empathy for the overweight. They see us for ouselves and where else can you find that thinking in this world. Doddie

Dr. Mumford banded me on Thursday! He was very nice and his staff is WONDERFUL! I would do it again any day of the week for sure!

Dr. Mumford was my surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He said he would call the next day and he did...not typical of most men. LOL

On a serious note, the clinic you have chosen is by far "A World Class" Center. On the day of my surgery they made sure to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Honestly, I was not nervous at all. From the moment I walked into the clinic to the moment I lay down on the surgery table I was never alone. Dr. Mumford met with me before surgery to go over any questions and to instruct me on what would happen over the next 48 hours. When I woke up, in pain, he was there within minutes to say hi, tell me everything went well and to perscribe me liquid codene. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mumford or the Staff at the clinic. To this day, they are all very helpful and extremely cordial.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
