State: British Columbia | Support in North Van next weeek !!!
Hi everyone 
Sorry for starting a new thread on this but I couldn't find the old one.
Just a note to make sure everyone that is interested knows that there WILL be a meeting next Wednesday, May 21st. This meeting will take place at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver in conference room C just off the main lobby.
I know that there are some of you that find the distance to North Van is a bother but I'm hoping with the longer daylight hours and better weather, some of you will be able to join us few die-hards !!!
I have access to some printed materials that are very suitable for support meetings so if any of you that will be attending have a specific topic you would like to see discussed please post here and I'll try my best to print out some relevant info that we can discuss at the meeting.
Hope you all have a great weekend and I'll see you next week !!!

Our group meeting is held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at Lions Gate Hospital which means the next meeting will be on June 18th. It's really too bad you missed this last one, we had 2 other people joining us for the first time.
I usually send out a group email a few days before the meeting to remind everyone so if you would like to get onto my mailing list please drop me a note so I have your email address.

State: British Columbia | Hi everyone !!!
Bumping this thread up because once again the title applies....
Support in North Van next week !!!!
So to all of you in the area that have never come to our meeting, please feel free to join us....whether you are pre-op, newly banded or a oldie, we're happy to have you !!!
Any questions please feel free to emial me at canadagirl33@hotmail.com and if you have any suggestions for topics of discussion let me know by either posting here or in an email. I will be sending out the group mail later today or tomorrow, so if you're on my list you'll recieve that reminder as well.
Personally, I've been debating a fill for the last month or so....I know I can handle one, but I've been lax in following the rules lately and have been liking the fact that I can eat a little more than normal and a few different things (like bread!!!  ) But the scale has been sitting for long enough (6 months !!!) and now with the better weather I'm ready to get back on the bandwagon and start moving this last 25lbs.... So I'm going to book myself a fill appt in Bellingham for Wednesday morning !!! This means that if I show up at the meeting with 'that look' I'm tight !!!!! 
See you all next week !!!!
Patricia

City: North Vancouver State: British Columbia | See you there. Just got back from having my port corrected and by some miracle still tight. However in July, when I seen Dr. Woodhead will probably get 1/2cc to test the port. See you Wednesday.

| New Canadian on board!
Hello,
I just discovered this website and love it!
I had an RNY in 2000 and lost 130 lbs. I kept it off for five years and then slowly started to gain weight back. I am now about 35-40 lbs. back and am terrified.
I am scheduled to get a lap band over my RNY in August. I want to know if anybody out there has also done this.
The other option for RNYers is to get a Stomaphyx, where they staple your stomach and basically tighten it up. I know two people who have done that and one of them, 43 of the 52 staples fell out, and the other one...her stomac stretched again (as it does for all RNYers after a while).
Also, my lap band is scheduled for TLBC in Toronto. Has anybody been there? Where do you get your fills in BC?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Zena | I don't know what meetings if any are in Vancouver, but there is one tonight in North Van at Lions Gate Hospital. (See the first post in this thread)
I'm just not sure of time, I guess I will go at 7 and hope I'm close!

City: North Vancouver State: British Columbia | Zenaromy. I am a "graduate bandster" of the TLBC. Dr. Yau is a terrific doctor. In fact as you probably know, one of the doctors that introduced the band to Canada.
I have a few personal observations I could make if you wish to e mail me or send a private message.
Good luck on your journey.
The Lion's Gate meetings are every 3rd Wednesday of the month and posted on 3 sites. BC WLS.com, Canadianlapbanders.com and Lapbandtalk.com. We start at 7:00 pm officially, but one member who drives down from Pemberton arrives at 6:30 pm. Hope you can make it as we are now 13 members and we had a number of laughs but also discussed the good and the downside to the band.
Also, to get a fill in BC you must apply to Dr. R. Woodhead in Delta. He charged me $400.00 for the consult and $80.00 per fill. Much cheaper than flying back to Toronto for a "free fill"

City: Langley State: BC | North VAn Support Meeting
it was nice meeting you all at the meeting. I feel much better knowing there is a support group to go to after I have my band put back on(if possible) in August. I'm getting very excited and scared.
Nice to see such great results from the Lap Band. You supplied me with much info,
See you next month!

City: North Vancouver State: British Columbia | I really enjoyed the large turnout. Who would of thunk so many would come out. It was so much fun listening to the comments of evryone about their journeys and we had some great laughs to. For months, the attendance was 3 sometimes just one so it was a great feeling to know there are others. Hope you all continue to come.
