Hi just wondering if any saskatchewan patients out there with lap bands? I know one girl replied but for some reason I can't find her!?! So again just looking too see if any gals/guys with the lap band? Thanks

Paigepatches. How is it going???? Hope to hear soon. Ash

Hey Paigepatches I was wondering what are eating guidelines are? Just curious to if they are same as mine or diff? Talk soon

Oh a nurse in saskatoon for fills? Where is she located? I go to north battleford

I'm a saskatoon bandster!!!!!

And yes trouble food is definitely bread and white chicken meat. How about you?

Hi So sorry it took my so long to reply. I go to dr holtzhaussen in battleford every 4 weeks for a fill. I am sitting at 6cc in my band right now. Hoping this last fill out me at me sweet spot I was going to ask you what kind of diet does your dr tell you to follow? Mine is 3 meals of 1 cup (3oz Protein ) And then two small snack usually with some protein in the snack Also where will get your fills done? I just was curious if yours is different perhaps your may even be better Talk soon Ash

I am doing ok. Kind of at a lul right now. Go for another fill in 2 weeks. I started off 165. Lost 12 lbs pre op and now am about then when back up a bit I'm at 147. I got my band in Toronto where did you get yours? And are you from saskatoon as well? The only down size about having it in Toronto is there is no support groups around here at least I can't find one. I really love my band I just need to find my green zone. It will come though. Talk soon Ashley

Awesome... I have been waiting for a sask to come on. I'm from stoon and my surgery was beginning of sept. How are you doing?

I had my band out in sept 1. However I'm still not in the free zone. I have had 3 fills. I have not lost much at all. Please tell me this is normal until I find my green zone. Which I hope it soon. Loosing fair in the band. I have 5.5cc in my band currently. Thanks everyone

Banded in sept. Not out

I am 29 going on 30. Got banded in August. Weight loss has not been rapid one because not in the green zone and secondly I'm only 5' 0 so they said it will lose at a slower pace. I just wish there were monthly meetings for people that have had this done. If anyone knows where there may be one please let me know extra support never killed anyone (isn't that the saying) Thanks everyone

Hi I was banded August 2013 and given instructions to eat. 3- 1 cup meals and 2 small Snacks. My friend had hers done and her dr said only 3 one cup meals no snacking? I know you should go by what you are recommended and I'm following my instructions to a t however very slow results. Mind you I'm not in green zone yet. I would please love others meal portion and opinion Thank you

It's wondering does anyone know if there is a Dr in Canada that does sleeves?? Thanks Ashley

Hi Yep my surgeon said one cup 3x and then 2 small snacks. I'm curious as to what other eating plans others have. How much food were u allowed at a meal?

Or even anyone that got the procedure done in Canada:)

What is the dr name that does it in Edmonton? From what I read there are some good ones. And would you be able to tell me the approx cost Thanks everyone

Hi I'm not meaning to be nosy but how did your procedure cost. I have the lapband however within a few years will probably go to sleeve And the dr was great? Thank you so much for your time Ashley

I went to slimband and have had no problems at all. They were great when I had an issue and dealt with it promptly. I have had a great experience with them

Hi everyone I am just wondering why do some eat 3 times a day max and others are instructed 3 cups a day for meals and then 2 small Snacks. I have had two fills and go up and down often. So I began researching and see that some drs say only eat 3 cups a day and that's if you are hungry. I was instructed 3 cups then 2 small snacks. Just getting discouraged as I am not in my green zone yet and perhaps eating more than I should be Any input would be great Thanks everyone
