Winnipeg, I need your assistance!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had surgery in Toronto 3 years ago. The fill Doctor I was seeing in Winnipeg has since joined the army! Luckily I have not had a fill for almost 2 yrs and have maintained my weight loss until recently.

Before I gain any more weight ....I am up 6-8 lbs and really am feeling it!

Any way, I need a fill and Winnipeg is closer to me than Toronto....anyone have fills in Winnipeg who've had their surgery elsewhere??

Thanks !!!

Lila, I'm not from Winnipeg but have you contacted your original banding clinic to see if they have a new fill person for your area? Our local fill nurse recently quit but the clinic lined up another and I just had to ask for them to put me in touch with her. It might be a start for you if you haven't done that already.

Try the Maples Clinic in Winnipeg - they should be able to help you out

Thank you! i did contact the TLBC and they have not been able to help me. And I've called the Maples clinic 4 times and emailed them and have not been able to speak with anyone there!:bored:

I was hoping someone lapband land would have a name and number and it would not be so frustrating!

Call Maples again - ask for Jenn Wares - she is the one who assists all the LB'ers is quite good. I know she has been on vacation and am not sure if she is back, but it is a name! Let me know how you make out and if need be, I will hunt down her email address for you.

PS - if you are interested - all us Manitoban's post under the link - Manitoba anyone?

Cheers

I doubt if the Maples will help you unless you are their client. You will have to get your clinic to tell you where the nearest fill nurse is and travel there. Unfortuantely, fills are only done by the clinic where you got their band. If you know of any clinic that takes any bandster regardless of clinic please post.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
