Hi I had my lap band done on July 12 last year. But, I am not losing, I can still eat everything. And as much as I want. I have had 3 fills, but I am not tight enough. How do you know if you are full enough? How tight do you feel?

Hello,I am in Stony Plain, I go to Dr. Jim in Grande Prairie and there is no fee. AHC pays for it.

Sara Thanks for responding to me. How much is your TJ surgery? Mine is $7000. I go just before you. I am scheduled for the 14, airline tickets purchased. Time is creeping up so fast. That is good, I am soooo fat. I need help. Connie

Ocotillo Hope all goes well, let us all know how it goes for you. Connie

giterdone You are just like me. I was a little worried about waiting so long to do something, being over the 50 mark. I have my surgery on the 14,

Which doctor are you seeing? I am going to Dr. Kuri on July 14, TJ. Mexico. I am also from Canada.

Hi There I am 52 years young, and 5'9", weighing in at 272. I am scared, nervous, excited and can't "weight" to get back to a normal size. I work at a gym for heavens sake. What kind of an example am I? I have been married for 32 years to a great guy, have 3 wonderful children and 5 grandchildren. I have been up and down so many times it would make your head spin. I have tried everything. They all work, and then comes the truth. You can't do it forever. I need help. My surgery is scheduled for July 14, in TJ, Mexico. I am self pay. I live in Alberta, Canada.

Mylissa1, I am getting my lap band on the 14 of July. I am self pay and am going to Mexico. Maybe we can keep in touch during our journey. Connie

Hi there I am going to be banded on July 14,09. Would love to get together with others that have been banded. I think that is a great idea. I am from Stony Plain.

Hi there I am going to Mexico for my lap band surgery on July 14,2009. I am in Stony Plain, Alberta

Hi Iam going for surgery on July 14,2009. I am nervous, but very excited. I have not been told about a pre op diet yet. but I am sure that is coming. I have done lots of reading, and hoping that this is the answer. I know all of you feel the same way. Dr. Kuri in Mexico is doing the surgery. I am from Alberta Canada, so I have a bit of a trip ahead of me, in more ways than one.

I am going for surgery July 14. Less than a month now.

I live in Alberta, Canada. Yes 4 hours is quite aways to go for a fill. but no one seems to do fills unless they did the surgery

I am going to Tiauna, and Dr. Kuri is doing my surgery.

I work at Curves, so hopefully the exercise will not be a problem. I just had a cortizone shot in my knee, so now I can get back to exercise. I just found a store nearby that sells lots of sugar free and fat free dressings.

I phoned the doctor that my surgeon said would do my fill, just to be sure. Yes he will do them. I will have to travel around 4 hours also to get it done.

How many calories do try to keep within?

I have had a hip replacement and my knees are going, sounds like we have lots in common

Thanks, I am so glad there is a place to talk to people who are going through the same things and have felt the same way. It sure looks like it has worked for you.

I never feel full, I can eat forever and never feel satisfied. I hoping that part will help me. When I tried ponderol , I would only take a bite of food and feel full. I hoping that this will do this.

Thanks, I hope it all clicks for me too. I know I have some food issues. I also know that I am going to have to find things to do when I am feeling depressed.And not medicate with food.

Thanks guys I am really looking forward to finally getting down in weight. I have tried everything, and they all work, but then you feel so deprived, and alas the cycle starts again.

Hi. I am glad that someone else my age is in here. I feel, that maybe I am too old to do something like this, but I just do not want to carry this weight around any more. My knees are going and I have already had a hip replacement. I want to enjoy what is left of my life. I want to travel and have some fun.

Hi My surgery date is July 14, I am paying myself and am traveling to Mexico to have it done. I live in Alberta Canada
