New "Bander" - London, Ontario - looking to connect with others



Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Heather and I was banded on April 5th. I'm looking to connect with others in the London area who have been banded. I was banded in Toronto and travel there for fills etc.

Looking for key contacts to buddy with on this journey!

Hi: Suggest you contact your clinic and ask for their support website as well as you can go to canadianlapbanders.com. coffee meetings are advertised on this site for Toronot and surrounding areas.

Hi Heather - I'm in London (Ontario right?) I was banded 2 yrs ago in Sarnia.

Problems ever since and I've just had a it removed in March.

I'd like to talk to more people before I decide if I will have it done again.

:thumbup:

Went to my family MD and he recommended them. Are they ok? How do I reply in this forum without attaching the initial comment?

no idea about the second question. first one, there was a dr there who left and does not deal with patients he did surgery on but new one does. just find out if he leaves if after care or surgery that may need to be redone will be covered

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
