I saw dr coburn in Mississauga. He is so down to earth. The nursing staff are always there to answer your questions. It is called the plastic surgery clinic

I went to Slimband. There aren't a lot of Slimband people on here because we have our own private community. Slimband was great! Everyone has been so nice and helpful, and the support team is always there for me when I have questions. I am 3 weeks post-op today

SWLC in Mississauga with Dr. Cobourn. I researched the lap band for almost a year and SWLC kept showing up as being one of the best.

Have not been disappointed. I love my lap band !

Way to go! I would have to call him dr. Dreamy...his personality matches his looks, he's a nice nice man and very easy on the eyes. He just did my gall bladder operation 2weeks ago. His nursing staff is excellent , best of luck ( you won't need it though) . 2 weeks of Protein Shakes coming up, just grin and bear it and reach out if you need help/advise.

I too went to SWLC. I chose it because dr C took the time to always answer questions, his staff were/are supportive and knowledgable and there was great follow up done. Dr c has a great bedside manner and sense of humour. Anesthetist was fantastic too. . All round great experience. I only had surgery 2 weeks ago, so I haven't had a fill yet.

This is great to hear. I'm new to this forum but have been reading and absorbing as much information as I can. I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Cobourn on October 17. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Knowing that a lot of his patients endorse him make me feel that I will be in good hands.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
