The meetings are held at the Lions Gate Hospital every third Wednesday in Conference Room A. The main entrance is on 15th. Go thru the double doors toward the gift shop. Turn right and pass thru a double door. Go down the corridor a bit. The Library is on the left. Turn right and we are the first door on the right.
Contact Canadagirl33@hotmail.com to be put on her reminder list. She will e mail if there are any changes.

Yes! I'm done!!
My operation was at 8:00am Aug. 6th with Dr. Woodhead - he, his staff and the hospital nurses were fantastic! Dr. Woodhead said it went very well - he also found and repaired a hiatial hernia (sp?). I was discharged at 4:00pm. I'm a bit sore right now and am having trouble sleeping because I slept most of the day away in recovery...but otherwise very happy to be on the other side. I must say, I feel no hunger at this point.

Sipping lots of water and walking - it really does help to get rid of the gas.

See you at the next meeting.

Congrats on your banding Innotu !!!! :biggrin2: I'm happy to hear that everything went well for you and am looking forward to seeing you at this months meeting and hearing how you're doing.

As for the meeting....it will be held on Aug. 20th at Lions Gate Hosp. However ...!!! I was just notified that it will now be in conference room A instead of C. I was told that it is in the same place (down the hall across from the gift shop) so check the door signs.

I've just phoned and made an appt in Bellingham for a fill that morning so I will definitely be there this month !!!

Hopefully I'll see you all there.....

Patricia

Hi
How often do you get your band filled. The last Dr in Miami told me it should be every six weeks.
Who do you go to in Bellingham?

Hi Sharon :biggrin2:
I'm kindof, sorta almost at goal so I don't have fills very often any more. My last one was in January of this year so it's been 8 months since my last fill. When I was fairly newly banded and loosing steadily I generally had a fill every 8 weeks.

I had my surgery in WA state at NWWLS and they have a satelite office with a fill nurse for their patients twice a month in Bellingham so I go there. Unfortunately they don't take on patients what were banded elsewhere...
