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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
