I am happy for you. Wow it sounds like you have good insurance , they moved rather quickly compared to others.

Every Dr is different. I am unable to have my first fill for 6 weeks after. I am scheduled for one on nov 26, dec 11 and jan 3rd. Cindy

My mom reacted like that at first. She said **honey you have the willpower** It hurt so bad that my Mom was upset with me. I got her more information and explained the health benefits in detail to her and after a few days she became very supportive. I think it ws the intial shock that I was doing something drastic. My advice is to inform people and if they still don't support you don't discuss it with them as your true friends will understand and try to help you. Cindy

I am really surprised how it vaired so much. Thank you to all that answered,

I drink coffee. It doesn't seem to affect me. I started with decaf them went back to my reg.

I was kinda bad I smoked until midnight the night before and even had one when i got home after surgery. It made me kinda sick smoking after so I cut back for a few days. I am finding i reach for a smoke instead of a snack now. One bad habit worsened another. Cindy

I am feeling the same way you are and I have to say Iam in the same boat. I felt so bad as I ate a lean cusiine with chicken. I have been battling the hunger I have just been very careful not to overeat. I am good all day until dinner and the evening...

I went the the Toronto Lap band clinic. I live in Edmonton so I make the flight out. It was 16.000 there and inclides all the fills I just have to pay the airfare.

The clothes for sure. Shopping in a regualr store I can't wait. And travelling. I fly alot so one day the seatbelt will not a struggle anymore....Just going out and doing things instead of being on the sidelines.

I had that for about 4 days,,,, It did go away.,,, but know i am back to normal.

Hi, Everyone at the TLBC is great. I was banded Oct 11th by Dr Yau. How long do you plan on staying in Toronto after your surgery? I flew home 2 days later.

Hi, I am 31 years old and from Edmonton Canada. I had surgery on Oct 11th. I am having alot of mixed feelings. Excited and scared at the same time. I feel like an emotional roller coaster. I am so happy I found this site.

My parents made me the offer to pay for the surgery. I live in Canada and insurance does not pay for the surgery. It was $16,000 canadian and I get lifetime fills. Without the financial assistance from family I would have never been able to afford this. I had surgery over a week ago and I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life.
