Talk with someone banded at YLBC



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I would really like to talk on the phone with someone who has had surgery at TLBC. Not sure what to expect and would like to talk with a person other than their employees. I will gladly pay for the call. Email me privately. Northern Ont.

Thanks to all that responded to my need for more info at TLBC. Too many to contact everyone. Those that I spoken to have been very helpful and have cleared up many concerns. Anxiously waiting the big day. May 28. It really makes me feel comfortable knowing that you all were given excellent care at TLBC.

Can't wait to start losing .:(

anxious? or excited? If anxious, anything we can tell you. I went thru all the emotions there are. Excited, anxious, regret, fear, self doubt, might miss my old comfort food etc. right up until I got on the surgery table. Now I wonder why. I wouldn't change my life for anything in this world. The band has saved my life. Doddie

I have nothing but good things to say about TLBC, I was just there on Thursday, thinking that I was too tight but I was not really sure. They spent time with me talking and set up a apt with the nutrition coordinator who gave me tons of information to help me to reach my goals. They took me right away because I was from out of town. I was not really sure what to ask her. She was great. An as it turned out I did not need I defill after all. Being from Thunder bay it is hard to get the support that you may need. I am now on a list the will recieve a call every two weeks for a support meeting. That is so awsome for me !!!:coolgleamA::cool2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
