I got this message on another forum, thought would post here too. Robyn Chris Henderson has asked me to release the following statement on his behalf: "The Toronto Laparoscopic Band Centre (TLBC) goal is to provide its patients with the highest and best level of medical care at every step of their decision to use and work with the adjustable Gastric Band. Our patients' health and safety during the pre operative and post operative phases of the Gastric Band usage remains our highest priority and responsibility to our existing and future patients. This responsibility also involves timely and appropriate communication of changes at the Centre to our patient community. We wish to officially advise our patient community of 2 recent changes, Dr. Jacob Joffe is no longer part of the team of surgeons at the Centre and Nisrine Shammas is no longer employed at the Clinic. The changes in our team of surgeons and pre operative and post operative professionals are always made with the best interests of our patient community in mind, and are part of our continuing commitment to providing the highest and best care for our patients. While we are not at liberty to give anyone details regarding either departure, we want the community to know TLBC will continue to grow and develop as Canada's leader in Surgical Weight Loss procedures and we look forward to continuing our enviable record of patient satisfaction. For all existing patients the TLBC post operative team remains in place, focused and ready to help them meet their goals. All new patients will receive a very high level of attention, education and assistance in making their decision to make TLBC their solution of choice. We appreciate your continued support and understanding in this matter."

Hey everyone..its been awhile since I last posted.. Well currently I am down 55lbs. I havent done the inches part anymore but at last count it was about 16 or so. I am still at 3 fills (8cc). I found a clinic in the USA that is close to home that is willing to do the fills, so next time I need one I will be going there. I have gotten back into a depression and am working on getting out of it. there have been alot of things going on lately in this life of mine. Its been a struggle but I am getting there. Glad to see everyone is doing well, congrats to the newest bandsters!! Take care.. will be back soon Robyn J:o
