Bonjour / Hello.

I was banded June 21st 2005 by Dr. Christou in Montreal...He is awesome. And not to mention his wonderful support staff...who do most of the managing, support and details.

Anyway, here I am June 26th and have already dropped 11.5lbs...I still can't believe how easy it's been. I feel great, I am full and life will be better.

I can't weight (LOL) to give up my pain medication for my knees and lower back...

MERCI buckets (beaucoup).

I trully enjoy being on this site...it's helpfull, enjoyable and there are alot of pleasant people....GREAT !

Welcome to LBT and to Bandland! WOW! -11 pounds in 5 days? thats great!

Hi Canadian boy!!I also had my banding done by Dr. Christou last week. He is wonderful.

How are you feeling now after a couple of weeks have passed? I'm still having a bloated feeling with some pain from the gas specially in my shoulder. Someone suggested GasX which I'll try tomorrow.

Good luck!

From a Canadian lady, Mary
