Recommended Posts

Hi,

I too am new here. After many years of yo-yo dieting and dieting up to my current weight of 250 lbs. I have decided to go with the lapband. I see the surgeon in April. I was wondering if anyone has had surgery in Montreal? Did you go with the public system or private?

Hi Sue

My name is Juliana and I did have the surgery in Quebec.

I did at the Spa diva medical center. They are amazing there.

Dr Miller is very honest and all the staff super helpfull

It cost 16 k. But 100% worth it.

I had mine in october and 47lbs gone.

Good luck

Keep me posted.

Hi,

I was banded in Drummondville, Quebec on March 2, 2011.

When I was accepted 1.5 years ago, I had to pay for the band.

In the meantime the Government decided they would pay for it. So I got it for free.

I am down 14 lbs including the 10 days on liquid before operation.......

it's going down very slowly. I had my first fill this tuesday ..... 6 cc.... I'm hoping to see the scale go down a bit faster.

I have no regrets so far.

      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.
