Anyone on here from Saskatchewan?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 10 months into my band and couldn't be happier. Only one fill at 6 wks post-op and am down about 50 lbs. I told only my hubby and 2 kids about the surgery so, I know how it feels to be kind of alone in the experience. That's why sites like this one are so valuable.

I lived in Prince Albert for forever! We moved to Saskatoon about 1 1/2 yrs ago. We probably know each other, it is such a small world.

Mamma G, maybe you need a fill? I know 2 fill nurses here in S'toon. Contact me if you need #'s.

Were you at the meeting Nov. 15 where Dr. Carmen Cajella was down, I'm sure she was from Dr. Corvalla's clinic.

It's tough when you've got 10 kids to care for and for yourself too! I find 2 kids and 4 dogs a challenge.

You can do this! You have this awesome tool!

Good luck!

yes i was at the meeting with 5 of my girls lol, yes dr carment was a part of my team. they were wonderful, i just need a close buddy, for encouragement etc. I am going on Friday for a fill With Lorna, hope that will help, things are going down tooo easy, i just don't take the time i should, and eat too fast. I know i need to train my head. send me a private message, i still have to figure out how to do that:blush: were you at the meeting???

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
