Burping is a fact of life for me. It usually happens when I eat too fast. You know, eat it before someone takes it from you!!! lol:)) My problems now consist of people seeing how much weight I've lost and now saying "put some weight back on" "your too skinny" ha! if they only knew how difficult a journey it has been. Not a hope and prayer that I will put any weight back on. Hope to hear from you soon. Email me at mmschaffer51@yahoo.com would love to hear from you.

Could someone please explain what Flouro means? Many people on the site tell that they have a flouro fill and it is more accurate? Not sure about the details. Please explain ~ Mary:confused:

Hello everyone! Would anyone have any clothing for me??? I was particularly looking for an evening gown. Very dressy (not black) for a November banquet. The colours that work best for me are: plums, navy blue, emerald green or ruby red. But in the meantime, if any body would have a size 10/12???? I know - I know......... but I still have another 15 pounds to go and it seems rediculous to go out and buy now with such little to loose. Should be at my goal by October. So if any one does have these sizes of clothing, please email me or call me. mmschaffer@hotmail.com or 905.983.9148. I live near Bowmanville, Ontario. But I also go to Oakville, Burlington, and Mississauga several times a month to visit family and friends. Thanks Mary

Hi Jamie: Please hang in there, I know what you're going through. I was banded May of this year and lost only 18 pounds. Mind you I have a small frame and haven't that much to loose. I'm five feet two inches tall, and when I went in for surgery I weighed 167.5 pounds. Now, only 149.5 pounds it seems to have stopped - nothing now for about a week. I have also gone back to some poor habits myself. I love - and I mean LOVE cherry pie. This is perhaps why we need to have this kind of support for each other so that we can share both are disappointments, as well as our happiness in meeting our goals. So what I've decided to do, is to take it slowly, day by day. Maybe might not be for every one, but I step on the scale each morning and adjust my eating habits accordingly. I'll keep you informed as today I need to STOP opening the fridge. I'll let you know tomorrow. If you wish you can email me on mmschaffer51@hotmail.com By the way, muscle does weigh more than fat. you must be really toned all in the right places. Hope to hear from you soon, just hang in there. Mary

Happy to hear from you. You will be so pleased to the results. You'll be a bit sore for the first day only. After that, it's easier each hour. I live in a remote part in the country and feel that I'm totally alone. The ONLY person that knows that I've done this surgery is my husband. I'm not comfortable with anyone else knowing. If you like perhaps you can email me on my personal email address so that if you have any questions - please feel free to contact me. mmschaffer51@hotmail.comso until then take care = healthy - Mary

I was banded in May of this year, and you are so right. TLBC was so great to me and don't regret my decision. The very fact that all included was a big factor for me too. Love the results and plan to be more involved with others struggling with their wieght. Good support is so important. Like yourself I too live north east of Toronto and find the travel not that bad. if you wish you may email me directly at mmschaffer51@hotmail.com I live in a small village type near Bowmanville. Have no car and I just moved to this area last year. hope to hear from you - take care

As far as other clinics are concerned, there is only the two in Toronto. I travel about two hours just to get downtown to get my fills and keep in touch with my program. These doctors are really good and I would rather have the best to do this kind of surgery. I am currently trying to learn how to sew so that I can alter all these wonderful clothes I have so that they will fit me.

It is well worth the money- believe me. I've lost 16 pounds since May 25th. I can tell you all the money I've spend on diet this and diet that. I was probably on speed dial at most weight loss centre's. There is help out there.
