One Year Post Op, No Results. Please Help
calgaryemsgirl replied to LyMarie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Before you go pointing fingers at my choices in which you know nothing about, get facts. I have been eating and getting filled and doing what I'm supposed to. Your ignorance inferiorates me. -
No doubt. I get very self conscious about eating in public now as sometimes I have to get up a few times during a meal to throw up. I worry about what people are thinking.

4 yrs for me. Only weight lost was from pre-op optifast. Waste of money. -
Pixie, I know what you're going through. I thought I was the only one. Ive never thrown up so much in my life as I do now. And yes, it is just food, no stomach acid. And agreed, ZERO mental or emotional issues. Just food getting stuck and having to throw up....constantly.

The only weight I have ever lost was from the optifast. Waste of money for the Lapband. $18,000 out of pocket mistake. I never had an eating problem, but my doctor said oh yes it will help....he must have gotten a cut of the money. I was sceptical but took his word and did it. It has been 4 years now. There is a weightloss place here in Edmonton that is based on optifast, I think that is going to be the winner. I would get this band taken out if it wasn't for being in surgery again.

Fill Nurse in British Columbia
calgaryemsgirl replied to Doddie63's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Dr. Hattingh in Fort St John now does lapband fills. :seeya: -
Hi I just sent you a message and thought hey I remember her. The surgery went great a few ups and downs. Would your doctor do my fills? Better yet can you tell me how he became qualifed to do fills and I could ask my doctor to do the same. There was a doctor in VAn but he now won`t take patients unless they are his. I would really appreciate help on this and hope you are doing great!!!!!

Thanks I am wondering if you can send me the info phone number about this and how it is going with your fills in the north as of now. ALSO can my doctor get certified how and where? Maybe at the same time if is possible this fill thing concerns me

Just a quick post to tell you the good news! Dr Cobourn is coming to Fort St John at the end of May to train my doctor, Dr Du Preez, how to do fills! There will finally be someone in Northern BC who can do them! :w00t::w00t:

Thank you so much for the reply. I was worried that I would do damage and was trying to hold in my burps...which I didn't have much success at. LOL

Fill Nurse in British Columbia
calgaryemsgirl replied to Doddie63's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The only place that does fills from the SWLC in my area is in Sexsmith, AB which is a 3 hour drive away. I talked to the nurses at SWLC and said they will train any doctors who are willing to come down for training. I will have to beg my doctor here to go get trained on fills. LOL. I was just wondering if the other clinics have people closer to me that may do fills from someone outside of their clinic. -

I am all alone in Fort St John, BC. Where do you ladies get your fills done?
