Thank you! i did contact the TLBC and they have not been able to help me. And I've called the Maples clinic 4 times and emailed them and have not been able to speak with anyone there!:bored: I was hoping someone lapband land would have a name and number and it would not be so frustrating!

Hi, I had surgery in Toronto 3 years ago. The fill Doctor I was seeing in Winnipeg has since joined the army! Luckily I have not had a fill for almost 2 yrs and have maintained my weight loss until recently. Before I gain any more weight ....I am up 6-8 lbs and really am feeling it! Any way, I need a fill and Winnipeg is closer to me than Toronto....anyone have fills in Winnipeg who've had their surgery elsewhere?? Thanks !!!

I had my fills with Dr. Padua. He did not do the surgeries though.

Does your doc do fills? The doc I was seeing in Winnipeg for fills is leaving his practice.

Ya its poor behavior , sometimes the pieces that come back up are quite big!! The reason I dot not believe I am too tight is I'm gaining weight and I am hungry alot more.

Are there others out there who pb daily? I do not believe I am too tight.

Hey Mandy happy to hear you got the de-fill. Did you have to pay? I trained years ago to walk a 1/2 marathon and the thing that saved my feet was...vaseline. I would slather my feet before I put my socks on. I never got a blister or a callus. The day of the marathon my adrenalin (sp)was pumping from all the excitement I ended up running the whole 13 miles. Not one blister! So that is my running advice. If your runners hurt your feet mail them back if you can't back there. Don't torture yourself they are not suppose to hurt. Thanks again for being such an inspiration to all of us bansters. I'll exercise....tomorrow!!LOL

Hey Mandi Happy to hear of your continued success!! You are an inspiration to all! Good decision on the de-fill. I was worried that I would be able to overeat but not so. I am actually enjoying eating, before I had to be so careful. Good luck with the de-fill.

My port has always been slightly visible. I thought that would be a good thing. That way the fil nurse/doc would have an easier time doing an adjustment. 4 out of 5 fills/de-fills have been uneventful!

LeslieLee My last fill was Dec 5th(my third) and I had a small de-fill under fluro (In Puerto Vallarta!) everything was good...pretty much until I started experiencing what I thought was acid reflux or gall stones.

Oh! Marcar... don't be afraid. It was aweful, yes, but I do not regret getting my band or that experience. Flying to Toronto was my choice. I just don't want people where I live and work know my business. And the $375/ flight was nothing since I already $16000 for the surgery.

Sorry I goofed when I posting> I left you a message on the other post Yoda!!
