My name is Joel Sopp from Regina, SK. I am 6'3 and 437 lbs with a BMI of 54.6.
I am currently on the Board of Directors for the Saskatchewan Bariatric Surgery Support Group (www.sbssg.ca) and we are a Non-Profit WLS Support Group.
We have our Annual General Meeting coming up, which will take place at The Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, 1800 Prince of Wales Drive in Regina, and we have a speaker coming out. Allison Kapp, the Nutritionist from the new Bariatric Clinic, will provide a presentation approximately 20 minutes in length followed by a 10?15 minute question and answer period for members of the SBSSG present at our Annual General Meeting. The presentation will begin at 2:40 pm.
Please go to the website and under AGM you can read a letter from the President of the SBSSG for prospective Board Members and/or Committee Chairs, An Information Kit for those interested in applying for a position on the board or a chair position, as well as a recruitment poster, nomination form, membership form and membership benefits.
It pays to be a paid member!
Feel free to e-mail hildahnke@sasktel.net (Current SBSSG President) or bkpromotions@sasktel.net (2007-2008 Communications Director) if you have questions about the SBSSG or the May 31st AGM. They will respond as soon as they can.
Take care and hope to see you at the AGM.

Hello GBP! As usual this thread has lost track of what the ORGINAL question was! I am also from SK. I live in Estevan. I do not believe anyone is SK is doing the Lap band Surgery. I went to TO, Mississauga actually, it was great and the Doctors and Nurses were excellent!! SIDE NOTE: Where Does everyone in SK get there fills Done?
-
Where do you guys get your fills from? Do you know if there is a place or person in Minot to do it? Thank you for reading!
-
Hello there! I am not from ND but Saskatechewan and I was wondering who does your fills and is there someone in Minot or surronding area! i would like to go there if possible! I need a fill but I do not kow any in my area! Thank you so much!

So, what's wrong with me???
amberganej replied to lisa in toronto's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I do have the same problem as well! I do not mind though. I feel like it kinda makes up for those days when i am feeling like i am eating a bit too much! some days i can eat some bread and then some days i can barely get some yogurt down! -
HELP! I'm on clear fluids need advice
amberganej replied to Band-aided's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am on Clear fluids right now as well! But they told me to have 1 Opti-fast shake split into 3 everyday! So that is what I have been doing! I have also had a couple mouthfuls of really runny creams soups. I had some jello last night and old habits die hard, the first 2 bites were slow but i was not paying attention and i had a big bite and it hurt like hell! So I will not be having any jello or anything else. I do not want to mess things up! But I also feel weak and a little shaky! And very Hungery! -
Well I did it! I got banded June 14th with Dr. Mumford. I had a little bit a problem coming out of the anesthesia but other than that it hasn't been that bad!! I have also been loving the Codeine so that may be a big helper!! I do feel hungry! That just started today. They told me to have 1 optifast spilt into 3 everyday! How was that for everyone else? Did anyone take more optifast? I have it and I feel full... but then an hour or so later i feel like am hungry and want some more! I haven't had any 'cause i don't wanna screw things up! What are everyone's thoughts?!

Dr. Mumford banded me on Thursday! He was very nice and his staff is WONDERFUL! I would do it again any day of the week for sure!

Hey mommy2002: I am from Estevan, SK and i am getting banded on June 12th! I am so happy someone else from our small town has gotten banded! I am sure I am the talk of the town right now as I have not kept it a secret that is what I am doing! I feel that if I do it and it helps some else to do it then great! Where do you get your fills?
-
BUFFIE: Is it possible to tell me the name of your doctor, that does your fills? My sister lives in Saskatoon and I go there every other month at least and it would be great if I could go there to get fills, even if I have to pay for them because she is not my Family Doctor! If you do not want to put her name on the message board you can email me @ amberganje@sasktel.net Thank you so much!

I read in the paper that they are only doing 100 Lap-Band Surgeries in Alberta per year and that you cannot pay for them they are only doing the ones covered by the provincial health plan. So it will go highest need first kinda thing. I highly doubt that they would accept someone out of province if they are only doing that many.
-
Who is this nurse and where is she located and how long has she been doing this for? Saskatoon would be ideal for me over Winnipeg! I had the understanding the closest place for to got for a fill wold be Winnipeg Or Calgary!
-
I agree with LeslieLee! I have wondered alot if this is the right decision. I get banded June 14th with Dr. Mumford. But hearing this makes me feel better to know that I am doing the right thing! Thank you for the encouragement!!
