| Not sure what the cost but the other Ottawa Doc charged $75 for a fill. I think the Montreal Docs would take care of their own fills though??
Good luck

| Woohoo! :whoo: I'm FINALLY under 300 pounds!!! It took a long time to start losing weight but the scale started going down in December.
So I've lost around 30 pounds but it doesn't show at all yet. My clothes are a bit looser - I'm looking forward to dropping sizes too.
So what are your weight-loss goals for the New Year? I'm going down south in March and would really like to be under 275 by then.

| Ottawa meeting this Saturday
The next Ottawa group meeting is this Saturday, January 5th, 10:30 am at Denny's on Merivale.
I know a few new people are also interested in joining us. Is everyone still planning to be there? Can we make a reservation at Denny's?
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I can't wait to fit into a 3x again - I find it so much easier to find pretty clothes in the 1x-3x range.
The Denny's is at 1378 CLYDE AVE, NEPEAN, ON K2G 3H9
If you're coming from the Queensway, take the Maitland (south) exit. Maitland turns into Clyde and Denny's is just past the Baseline intersection.
If you're coming from the Champlain Bridge, continue straight to Merivale, past Baseline, and turn right on Clyde (the CJOH building is at this corner).

City: Hull State: Canada | Woohoo! Bravo AZA!!!
I'm not having the same success unfortunately... I've had like 5 fills so far, I'm at 8 CCs and no restriction... I'm getting discouraged!
I will be there Saturday, I think we should make a reservation, but no idea how many we'll be... any ideas?
Annie

| I will be there on Saturday! You cannot make a reservation at Denny's so my suggestion would be that we all meet at the front doors at 10:30 and then we can get a table that would accommodate all of us. Any Thoughts? I am looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing about your experiences as I am being banded January 24th and have lots of questions.
See you Saturday

City: Ottawa, Canada | I will be there on Saturday, and I want to congratulate you on your success, I was so excited when I went from 5x to 3x to 1x and now I am in size 18, I have even bought some pants that were on sale size 16 and 14 that I know that I will fit into very soon. My goal is to be below 200 by April 9, 2008 when we leave for Cuba.
