Saskatoon and area

I would love to get together with people from Saskatoon and area that have a band and want to support and encourage each other on this journey. Anyone one out there?

Hi if you're ever in Saskatoon, feel free to message. I'm not sure if bandsters from Saskatchewan are few and far between or just not online, but I'm hoping for a few responders! Do you have a support group in Kelowna?

I'm in Toronto... I host 4 coffee groups a month for people that are banded... I host them in various areas. If your interested in starting a coffee group try posting a free ad in a local community newspaper for a Lapband Coffee Group with an email address to contact you... it worked out really great for me to get my group started... you might be surprised at the response you get

You know what! One of my close girlfriends just moved out there, so I might be making a trip in the spring!

There isn't any support groups in Kelowna, that I'm aware of atleast. I had my surgery in mid Nov, and I've been fairly private about it (except on here and with my fam)

I wasn't aware of how common the band actually was in Canada until I made a trip to the ER!

Hope your doing great!

And thanks Tom, that's a great idea!

I've kept my band hush-hush too. Only my immediate family and best friend know. It would be great to meet you if / when you do come to Saskatoon. Any support in this journey is so impotent

Hi zea33,

I am in Saskatoon and I am being banded on February 19th. I have been on the liquid diet now since Tuesday (today is Sunday) and I am down 11.6 pounds!! I couldn't be happier!

I would love to get together to share and support each other!

Wish I was a little closer... I'm in Yorkton. Getting banded in Regina on May 14! I see today is the 19th so Loulou you are having your band done today!! Good luck and hope all goes well!!

[Loulou730 4]

Hi Cat Whisperer,

Yes, too bad you are not closer but we can keep in contact on here! Yes, I was banded yesterday - Feb. 19th. I am still pretty sore but everything went great. Is Dr. Pooler doing your surgery at Aspen? If so, they are all wonderful there. It was a great experience. I have nothing negative to say at all.

Well, I am off to bed. It is getting late and the pain killers are making me very tired.....

Talk to you soon.

Loulou

[cat whisperer 127]

Glad to hear everything went so well Yes, Dr. Pooler is doing my surgery! That's pretty cool that you had the same surgeon as me. I didn't realize that you had to go to Regina for the surgery if you are in Saskatoon. I was impressed when I went for my consultation -but it's always good to hear firsthand from someone who went through it there!

Hope things continue to improve for you and keep us updated!!

take care,

Cat

Hey, any of you Saskatoon folks still checking in here? I've "talked" to another new bander here and we are interested in possibly starting a support group.
