Talk with someone banded at YLBC

chubba · 04-22-2008, 12:14 PM

Hi,
I would really like to talk on the phone with someone who has had surgery at TLBC. Not sure what to expect and would like to talk with a person other than their employees. I will gladly pay for the call. Email me privately. Northern Ont.

Thanks to all that responded to my need for more info at TLBC. Too many to contact everyone. Those that I spoken to have been very helpful and have cleared up many concerns. Anxiously waiting the big day. May 28. It really makes me feel comfortable knowing that you all were given excellent care at TLBC.

Can't wait to start losing .

When is the surgery date? Would like to send you a "welcome to bandster land". Doddie

Hi,
The big day is May28th, then my new life starts..... I am so anxious

Doddie63 · 04-26-2008, 11:32 PM

anxious? or excited? If anxious, anything we can tell you. I went thru all the emotions there are. Excited, anxious, regret, fear, self doubt, might miss my old comfort food etc. right up until I got on the surgery table. Now I wonder why. I wouldn't change my life for anything in this world. The band has saved my life. Doddie

I have nothing but good things to say about TLBC, I was just there on Thursday, thinking that I was too tight but I was not really sure. They spent time with me talking and set up a apt with the nutrition coordinator who gave me tons of information to help me to reach my goals. They took me right away because I was from out of town. I was not really sure what to ask her. She was great. An as it turned out I did not need I defill after all. Being from Thunder bay it is hard to get the support that you may need. I am now on a list the will recieve a call every two weeks for a support meeting. That is so awsome for me !!!
