Hi there - am really thinking seriously about banding. I have about 110 lbs to lose - gee, that was like an AA confession but its finally sinking in that I really am that overweight! I have been fooling myself and really avoiding the mirror. I am near Ottawa,Ont, Canada and would sure like some info about who does the surgeries around here or close by in Quebec (Montreal?) Glad to be here and I'm sure I'll get a lot of info.:scared2:

Hi there ! I was reading your message and I too am a NEWBIE! I have my first appt in Sept so just looking thru here and reading has been helpful. I have around 100 lbs to lose as well and its almost too much to say it out loud! If you wanna chat or talk email me ...we could all use a little help along the way....

I know the feeling, I have about 140 lbs to lose after years of taking off 30 or 40 lbs at a time and putting 50 or more back on!! I have tried it all and I am ready for some help.

Hi dixiedoo and welcome to LBT! Here's the link to the Canadian forum, I'm sure someone would be able to answer your questions there. Good luck you!
