Are there any people in London Ontario who have been banded.



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am in London and had my Lap Band March 2007. In many ways I think I feel better than before. Things have been kind of rough for me with the band. I haven't really felt it was a great success and keep hoping that things will improve.

I would love local people to talk to and possibly meet for coffee.

I have a friend in Dorchester that was banded a couple of days after me. We really enjoy getting together to shoot the "band". Hee hee

Take care!

Hi,

I live in London currently. I was banded August 1st in Mississauga by Dr. Cobourn. How do you like it?

Hi There

I am back from a weeks vacation. I stopped over for a fill on my way and now I am at 5.7 cc. Still not right. I called Tammy today in Mississauga and we have scheduled another fill next Tuesday. She said not to get discouraged we will get it. It is discouraging because I am taking the train everytime I have to go and it is a full day trip. I hope my sweet spot it almost feeling sweet. I also feel that the amount of money that I paid for the band I will keep going back until I am 80 if I have to to get it right. I have lost maybe 1 pound since post op which was the beginning of September. Not very good.

Anyways, I would be very interested in getting together for coffee and discuss everyones experiences and maybe we can creat a great London support group. Let me know.

Sheila: I hope you get to sweet soon. I am worried about getting fills. I had 4.2cc in during the surgery and had to have it removed on day 7 after my surgery. What a relief, it was not good being too full. I know that is frustrating getting to Mississauga but going slow is better. I will not be very aggressive with my fills, I don't want another week like that again. Coffee/support group sounds great.

I realize it has been a long time responding to this post. I would like to join one of your coffee's if you still have them to discuss the band. I was banded in September last year and it really hasn't done alot for me to date. I realized finally that I was working it wrong. Anyways if you do get this please let me know. Thanks

Sheila

      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? 🤷‍♀️
