Soon to be banned in Winnipeg



Recommended Posts

Hi there. I'm so excited by this site. I've been searching for real stories from real people to help me make up my mind about getting the band. I've read people's victories and their struggles and am leaning toward getting it done. The financial cost is high, but I'm starting to see that it works, and my health and happiness are worth it!! Please keep up the sharing. :eek:

Welcome Joanne!!!

I am originally from Edmonton and I have a brother that lives in Winnipeg. Small world. I did my research, read a lot about the band and decided it was for me. It was the best decision I could have made. I was a self-pay also and decided I needed to do this for my health. I got my band in May of this year and have lost about 50 pounds so far. Keep reading all of the fantastic success stories. I have learned so much by the people on this site. They are really here to help you succeed and get you through all of the hurdles. Welcome again,

Cami

Hey! Just a note to give my 2 cents worth.. Getting the band for me was one of the best things I could have done for myself. I have struggled with my weight ALL MY LIFE.. and I know the band is working.. It is slow going, and as they say, "not a quick fix, but a tool," but I believe I am on the right track! Good luck and God Bless!

Hi Mimi,

Just thought I'd let you know that I was banded at Maples mid November and everyone there is great! I am going for my first fill on Tues but if you have any questions, just let me know.

Cheers!

hi Kat, thanks for the encouragement. I'm a bundle of nerves today and its only the consultation! I'm hoping that once I get more info on what the process is leading up to the actually surgery I will be calmer. :party:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
