I was lucky and got a bank loan with reasonable interest. I looked into the medical loans but the interest was staggering

To the OP. I would seriously spend the money and do a consult with a different doctor. It is NUTS that you had ANY fluid in your band at the surgery. I did not get a fill until about six weeks in. I am in BC and my doctor is helpful, but it's a little far for you:(

I have the gurgle too, but not much pain unless I eat too much.

Hi ladies. I am glad I am not the only pooter! It is really embarrassing and can be painful. I always have gas x or something with me now and it seems if I eat yogurt and take Metamucil regularly (haahaa pun intended) the gas is not as bad. I find if I lay on my stomach and move around a bit or rub my tummy down that can help expel some of the air.

Hi. Banded in Victoria Canada by Dr Amson on September 1 2010

Banded on September 1st.

i am trying to make my own purees, but am not sure which fruits and veg will work when frozen. I am doing peaches and got a good recipe and it will taste much better than the bought stuff from what all the articles I have read have said. I am not going to do meat, but oatmeal or rice Cereal can be added and pureed as well. Baby food Storage And Preparation Tips

Well thank you for joining! There are now three of us plus my cats...explanation:ohmy: for those guys is on the page:lol:

Hi Viking girl, another lady and I met in south surrey this week for our first "meeting" I am hoping to get some other bandsters who cannot go into Vancouver (or dont want to) either in Langley or south surrey or elsewhere that works for most. Also have set up a group on facebook if you are interested it is called British Columbia Bandsters

Hi all, I have started a facebook group called british columbia bansters, if interested please check it out. it is a private group thanks!

ok so i have decided to start a facebook page. It is called British Columbia Bansters, if you folks are interested check it out, it is a private group so you need to ask to be let in:)

Hi folks! In Langley and looking to meet up with some folks too. I have made a facebook page for us it is called British Columbia Bandsters So far only myself and talktime are in it, but hope that we can get a few more. It is a private group as well. If interested find it on facebook and send a request!

Thank you Sandi. I am surprised you lost so much, I did not think the supersized folks to get under 200 with the band! I am really hopeful to find someone who is willing to chat with me daily. So far I have not had luck. All of the contacts my doctor gave me were duds and most did not even bother to email back at all. A shame in my mind, because i believe in paying it forward and hope that i can do so when i am able to offer a newbie support.
