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.

      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.
