Hi,

What clinic were you banded at in Toronto? I'm not sure yet how much Dr. Bishop charges for fills but I can tell you he and his clinic are fantastic for support. He is just starting to be able to do fill for TLBC patients (which I am) so I haven't been for a fill with him yet.

There is probably a post in here somewhere that tells how much it costs. I'm thinking $75 to $80 but again I'm not sure.

A few local folks gather semi regularly for coffee and such. We plan them and support each other in the following Yahoo group. Feel free to join!

Hello,

I've recently been looking into to the lap-band surgery... There seems to be a few surgeons that are close to me.. Out in Ottawa... I will be contacting them but I am also looking for different opinions...

I was wondering who your surgeon was, why you chose him or her and what the price of the surgery was?

Thanks again for all the info! I can't wait to get this procedure done!

Hi Julie,

I haven't been on this site for a year, but I just wanted to let you know that I was banded at TLBC now Slimband by Dr. Yau. I paid 16,000. It was the best thing that I ever did. I wish I had done it sooner. There are a few of us that meet for coffee in Bells Corners once a month and we have a group on yahoo. I think Secret Innocent post the link a few posts ago. You are welcome to join us for coffee and ask questions. We have all went to different clinics.

Hi Christine,

I am very interested in being part of a Ottawa group. Although I am in the beginning stages of the procedures, still trying to decide which doctor to go to and where I am determined to go through with thsi process. I am looking forward to talk with you.

Count me in! But I am completely new at this blogging and chatting thing (I know I'm a little slow must be all the fat in my brain) LOL. I am so looking forward to join a group of fighters towards a common goal.

Hey Mandy is that you? I haven't checked out this site for about a year. So much have changed. I'm single again. My total weight loss so far is 85 lbs. I just had a defil in Ottawa with Dr Bishop and now I can eat everything I want. I'm still being careful but I have had at least a 5lb weight gain. I am waiting for a Barium swallo to she if the band has slipped. They don't think that it's possible but they want to make sure.

Are you married yet? Are you maintaining your weight loss. So much catching up to do

Louise

Us old ladies like to get together and gab over cheesecake and coffee, Rob... sheesh. :rolleyes

(that's why I'm lucky that LBT is my support as well! hehe)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
