Hello I am Bob, I am in the Toronto area. I had the lap band put on

at the Surgical Weight Loss Centre on Aug 7 2007. I have not had a fill yet. I enjoy talking about the band , I wish I had know of this wonderful tool years ago.

Bye for now , Bob

Hi Bob

Welcome

I was banded at the SWLC too, on August 15th. I had a fill on friday but i dont feel any difference. Hope to chat with you soon

Hey Bob! Welcome

I think I met you this afternoon at lunch, right??? You were sitting at the end of the first table?

You'll love this site... so many super people... and some great support and companionship.

We all have ups and downs.... mostly DOWNS hee,hee,hee... get it?

Oh I am 'sic' tonight LOL

Glad the link worked Bob - this is a great site with lots of neat people who have all the experience we need to really help us make the most of this band.

Cindy:D

Hi Bob

Glad you came yesterday. I can't say enough how great you look already. Keep up the great work. We'll be in our swimsuits in no time.

Welcome Bob,

The lunch sounded like fun !

I hope to be able to come to one when I am in toronto. It would be nice to put a face to a name.

Hi Bob,

It was nice to meet you yesterday at the lunch! Keep up the good work!

From one green to another greene, welcome, eh. It was great meeting you at lunch yesterday. You will have great results with the band. Men do tend to lose weight more quickly than we women do. If you haven't already done so do look at the before and after photos which Gaffer, another Canuck, has posted on this site. The weight which he has lost in 6 months is amazing.

Welcome Bob.Sorry i could not make lunch yesterday. It sounded like alot of fun. Did you get there on time Cindy lol?

Sure did and we missed you - how are you feeling - you have your consult tomorrow right? Hope they can give you some answers - keep us posted.

Cindy

Welcome Bob.Sorry i could not make lunch yesterday. It sounded like alot of fun. Did you get there on time Cindy lol?

Hi Lorie, are you not feeling well? I am sorry to hear that.

Best wishes for you!!!

Thanks peaches and Cindy.Yes i go for some tests tommorrow (not band related) so i hope they get to the bottom of where and why i have the pain.

For those of you who saw Dr. Coburn, did you have to go get a full physical? I went to my DR. already to get a referral. He took blood and checked my pressure etc. Is that enough?

Also, when you had your consult how long was it until the surgery was booked?

pretty much - hopefully he knows whether or not you have a condition that your surgeon/anaesthetist needs to be aware of. If you are over 50 you will need an ecg and of course the blood work that the clinic will order. Pretty straight forward actually. I wouldn't let my doc weigh me - his scale didn't go high enough anyway.

Hello Bob,

Welcome to Lap Band Talk. It was nice meeting you on Sunday. I'm sure you will do great, and I look forward to us speaking some more.

I am under 50 and i had to get a ecg. I think it is standard for everyone.
