Hi , and thank you ,I completely agree with your post.I do not think Quebecers are lazy either( and I am one of them)!! I am not banded yet but am on a waiting list. The reason I chose the lap band is because it is reversible.I personally know of one person who has had the lapband and she is working hard on her weight loss journey! Take care, Sue

My time off has been very flexible but my role in nursing is as a project manager so I sit in meetings and work at a desk rather than run up and down halls in patient care areas. I plan to return to work on Monday which will be 11 days post op and even at that I am not sure I will make it a full 8 hours. I'm 51, obese, diabetic and hypertensive so I have lots of issues

So glad you are on the road to recovery. I too am a RN and was wondering how long you will be off work.One secretary at work had it done and and was off 3 weeks. Our job is a little more physical so I was wondering how much time off you got.
Take care,Sue

.... Glad to hear you are feeling better!! You are so right, we need to speak up when we think there is something wrong, and yes dehydration is dangerous. Take care of yourself and I hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly!! I have not been banded yet, am on the waiting list,so hopefully within the next 6-9 months I will have my surgery!! -
anyone here from canada?

it is covered by medicare as far as I know. that is why the wait is so long. I had initially made an appointment with a dr. Miller in private and it was going to cost 16,000. on the web site I can't remember what the wait time was but it was not very long at all.Mind you things could have changed as that was 6 months ago. I liked him Dr. Jette that is, he is very to the point and does not beat around the bush. I had not heard that he is rude. I had heard he was a very good surgeon! -

Hi, I'm not banded yet, but am now on the waiting list for Pierre Boucher Hospital. I had my appointment with Dr. Pierre Jette on April 13th and he said I was a candidate!! What a relief. So now it is a waiting game. If I remember right he said it was a 9-12 month wait, but that is ok, now that I know I am a candidate.There is a newer Doctor there a Dr. Chagnon( I think that is how you spell it) supposedly the wait is not as long for him. There is also a Dr. Leclerc at chum( Notre Dame hosp).In private it costs about $16,000 and up. Good luck with your search, I did not have to wait too long for my appointment with Dr. Jette about 3 months. Sue -
I Am a candidate!!! now it is a waiting game. The md told me it was about a years wait. I have not won the lottery ,so will have to wait. If by chance I come into money, then I will be self pay! Keep up the good work.

quote name='Mollyjolie' timestamp='1301794966' post='1595027'] Hello Juliana1, I was banded this past March. So far, I lost about 10 lbs. My first fill is on April 20th. Happy I won't be alone. Mollyjolie Hi Mollyjoie, Congratulations on your band. Who was your doctor and where did you have it done. I have an appointment on the 13th of April, and hopefully I will be a candidate. My GP has his doubts!! Hopefully he is wrong. Sue
