Oh man. A canadian, banded in Canada, posting in the Canada support page! Craaaaaziness!

Hey Cin. I'm in Saskatchewan. I'm at about 6 weeks to go to banding! I'm soooo excited. You should email me or something and tell me all about your experience with Cobourn, and how everything's going so far.

and Michele, you are tooo funny. ;)

lol ok.

How many of you are Canadians, and if you are, are you living in Canada? Cause... that's what I'm getting at with this question. :)

I'm looking to see who fellow Canadians got banded by IN Canada. Thank you anyway though.

Yes, I'm Canadian, from Montreal. I was banded by Dr. Christou.

Hello my fellow Canadians!

I'd be happy to email anyone and offer support. I actually met someone at Dr Cobourn's office from Winnipeg that I will be emailing soon. I would love to be a modern cyber penpal.

Your right about it being exciting. I was lucky, I had Christmas stuff to keep my mind occupied until January. I only started getting nervous after that.

I'm schedule for my first fill on March 10th and that has me a little concerned. Just because he's so far away (not compared to you of course!), if it's too full I'd have to take even more time off work. But alas, worrying about everyone else is part of the reason I'm in this predicament...anyway, when you're there, try to make a friend in the waiting room. (Not the recovery room...because you won't remember!)

Hi There,

I was banded by Dr. Joffe/Dr. yau team at the Toronto Lapband Centre. They are my saviours!! Back in the day, $10K was the price.....3yrs ago. And worth every penny!

I am booked to be banded by Dr. Wai Leung in Surrey BC.

I believe there is another surgeon in Richmond, don't know his name. Other than that, I think Ontario.

What province do you live?

I don't think Paulax is talking to you, emtbaby4... seeing as where your from is stated just just under your name, and you've already told us about 4 times where and when you're getting banded. Oy.

Yeah, Paulax, you should specify who you're talking to when you post, if it's to someone in particular. Don't think it's me, cause I believe I said already.

:confused:

      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.
