City: North Vancouver State: British Columbia | Safari: WL depends entirely on you. If you follow the guidlines strictly and exercise you will loose 1 - 2 lbs per week. There will be times you remain the same. The only difference to remember you are not on a diet as much as you are altering your lifestyle to learn to eat modestly and healthy. Well aboard bandsters land. The band is there to remind you when you have had enough.Doddie

| Surgery ...
Well, I had my surgery on Oct 26 @ 9:00. Dr. Yau and his staff did everything to make me feel comfortable. It was a good experience. I'm a little sore today but managing well with my liquid diet.

| Great to hear you are doing well. It gets better... you will look forward to the fuller fluids as soon as you start feeling better.

State: Alberta | <p> I am home and very happy with my surgery. I am not having a lot of pain or gas dicomfort. I have been walking everyday thanks to the advise on here. A few people on this site suggested walking to get rid of the gas pain as Gas X wouldn't really work for that kind of body gas, And they must have been right as I feel really good.</p> <p> </p> <p> Thank-you to you all</p> <p> God Bless</p> <p> 18 Again<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> Banded TLBC by Dr Yau in Toronto</p> <p> Pre op diet weight 209.8</p> <p> Surgery Date 203.5</p> <p> October 28/07 200.8</p>

City: Toronto State: Ontario | I was banded on August 16, 2007. I have lost 29 lbs and I feel great. I think the clinic is great and I had a really good experience. I find Jill (the nutrionist) really helpful, but I have to say all of the staff is terrific. I hadn't thought about going to the Open House on November 30th, but now that I am reading about it, I think I might. | |

I just had my 3rd fill yesterday and it's made a difference. I was really needing some more restriction for sure! | |

City: Toronto State: Ontario | My starting weight was 260. I feel great, but I am very careful about what I eat. I have trouble keeping food down, even though my restriction is very low 4.5 cc. I spoke to Nancy yesterday, she keeps telling me to chew, chew.
I am happy that I did it, it is going well, I hope that I can keep it up.
I just discovered this forum, I am glad that I did, now I know how other people feel and are doing. | |

State: Ontario, Canada | Hey Mitzy
You will be surprised at all the support you get at TLBC. I have taken advantage of the SUpport group as well as the nutritional classes.. Jill is awesome and so is Nancy the fill nurse.
Everytime I have a question or email they respond very quickly.
Also, I was there on Wed and was told they are getting a 'new' member on their team. A psychiatrist, who will be helping us all with our 'emotional' elements to losing weight and keeping it off permanently.. this will be a great advantage to us all as I am an emotional eater and I think there are a lot of 'us' out there.
Best of luck , post often and ask lots of questions! | |
