suenan 0 Posted February 27, 2011 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? Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wannafeelgood 0 Posted March 31, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
