Hi Neenagh,

I am from Ottawa and just underwent my lapband procedure in Toronto on July 20th. I went to the Toronto Laproscopic Band Centre (TLBC.ca) since there are no doctors here in Ottawa who do the procedure. I am doing alright so far and with the help of my neice who is a lapbander herself, I am going to be fine. She has lost 100lbs since March 2005 and has 70 to go. Too bad she lives in Windsor though.;) Right now I am trying to find a doctor who will do fills here in Ottawa. My family doctor will not do it. The outpatient co-ordinator at TLBC is going to introduce me to 2 other patients from Ottawa so that we can hopefully form a support group. I have to give lots of appreciation to the TLBC Neenagh and I hope that you have lots of success.

I'm a patient of Dr. Cobourn in Mississauga (even though I'm from BC) When I was in his office getting my first fill he had a Dr. from Ottawa come in to watch because he is training him to do fills. The Dr.'s wife and son are lapband patients of Dr. Cobourn. He will be doing fills in Ottawa as part of his own practice. Unfortunately I don't remember his name, but I'm sure if you call Dr. Cobourns surgical center (905-275-9283) and enquire they can refer you.

      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.
