Hello,
My name is Cathy Mahoney and I was banded at TLBC in March 2005. My highest weight was 305 lbs in 2001, and before I started the pre-op diet I weighed 285. At the time of the operation, I weighed 263, and now two years later I am at approx 195 lbs. I have been having terrible reflux, vomiting, nausea and heartburn and have been having defills (I had one today - took out 2 ccs). At the max, I had 7ccs of fill, and now I am down to 1.5-1.75ccs. Monday I'll be going to Toronto to get a Fluoroscopic xray to see if my band has slipped. If so, I will need to get all the remaining fluid out of the band, wait 2 months, and if the band is not back in place, then I may need additional surgery to replace the band.
I hope to be able to find a resolution to this problem, I am quite concerned. I want to continue on this road to the new me, and I'm worried about how things are going now.
I understand that there is a support group in Ottawa, and the next meeting is in January. Have we decided on a date, time and location?

| This afternoon I met another bandster at a doctor's office and directed her to this site. If you've found us - Hi!
The next Ottawa group meeting is on January 5th, 10:30 am at Denny's on Merivale.

I had no issue with your mom at all! For me it was great to hear thoughts and experiences from another bypasser to compare to my mom's gastric bypass experiences and the issues she's dealt with compared to my own banding experience.
