I just had LAP-BAND® surgery this week. I am wondering if there is anyone here from Saskatchewan? Thanks!

Hi

I live in Ontario. My husband and I both have lapbands and went to Toronto, Slimband clinic. Our daughter is in northern Saskatchewan and is just looking into lapband surgery and must travel to Regina. Is that where you had surgery? When did you have lapband surgery?

I just found your posts and I see that they are old by a couple of years but....I am from Saskatchewan! I live in Saskatoon. I was just banded on February 19, 2013! I had it done at Aspen Medical Surgery (used to be called Omni) Dr. Pooler is wonderful and the entire staff is terrific. I am still very sore and very full feeling. I have had a very upset stomach the last two days. I am now down a total of 23 pounds since my pre-op Optifast diet so I am very pleased with my results so far.

Hi I am in Saskatoon as well - welcome! I was banded in February. I am sure we can support each other even though the surgeries are a little different.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
