Juliana1 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Hello I live in Montreal and "got banded" last October. To be very honest , I would love to find people on the same boat. People that understand what it means to get a fill and how do you feel afterwords. People who like me has doubts on what to eat at home.. restaurants...etc. I am always afraid of eatting ( mind you I fight my fear and still do ) , but I am afraid I am not getting enough nutrition , or too much , or I am afraid it will get stuck. Etc.. etc. I wish I was not addicted to food. I love food ( otherwise a band would not be necessary) , I just need to learn what to eat ,when and how. I do believe I am getting there...I started at 265 , size 20. Now , 3 months later I am at 230 , size 16 ( yeay) . So... if you are in the same boat .. please keep in touch.

I have an appointment on the 13th of April, and hopefully I will be a candidate. My GP has his doubts!! Hopefully he is wrong. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mollyjolie 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Hello Suenan, My Dr is Dr. Garneau. He is based at Hopital Sacre coeur but his office is at Rockland Medical center. I first saw his this past september, where he explained all the different types of surgery and gave me all the information in order for me to make my choice. I went back a month later, told him about my decision and he put me on the waiting list and told me that it was close to 1 year waiting, but since the surgery didn' t need an overnight stay, I should be able to have it at the Rockland Medical center. Which is where I got the surgery this past march. Hope this helps. Good luck and keep in touch. Mollyjolie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
