Hi,"Green"

If you can make it to Bloor and Spadina, on TTC, I can give you a lift from there. Susan Silver is also coming with me, I think???

That would be cool. I live fairly close to Bloor and Spadina. I live at Bloor and Dufferin and I often walk home from my doc's office/physio's office and these are situated close to Bloor and Spadina.

What time, what day, and how will we recognise each other??? It would be fun to meet you all.

Hi Guys - sorry was out of commission for a few days. Yes I still want to come - Lisa I will call you. I will reread this thread today to find out who to rsvp to so the reservations are correct.

Well, I went to the lapband lunch at Kelsey's yesterday and it sure was a lot of fun. :biggrin1: It is really great to meet fellow lapbandsters in the real world. ;) I want to thank the folks who arranged this get-together and Lisa In TO who very kindly helped me out by giving me a lift. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: A very big thanks from Green. :ranger:

Hi I too had a great time at the luncheon :hungry: yesterday. It was nice seeing those I haven't seen since the annual bandster bash in May and new pre-op and post op bandsters. Was sorry I had to leave early but at least I missed being tempted to have dessert ;).

Looking forward to the next get together!

Hello All

I wanted to say a special Thank You to all those who attended the lunch yesterday, you all made me feel very welcome, and I am even more excited about getting "banded" on August 15 (if it is possible to be more excited) Thank you for sharing your wisdom, hope, strength and compassion. I look forward to "lunching" with you all really soon.

Loiely I'm east of Toronto as well (Peterborough) - next time we go - I'll drive and we can arrange a meeting place so I can pick you up. I didn't go either.

Canadian Lapbanders organizes a lunch every month and they move it around the city so it hits the west end, east end, and central areas as well. Anyone is welcome to join I know Laurie who organizes them was going to post on Lapbandtalk as well. I think this months is in Ajax at Applebees but I don't know the date.

      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!
