Hi everyone in the Cannuck site ,I'm being banded in early Febuary in Dr.Coburn's clinic in Toronto and I'm really happy and more and more scared as well , but I need you guys all to be aware how much help you'

ve been.Wow it feels like 3/4 the questions I've thought of you answered without me having to make a call to anyone,you see I've been lurking around for about 2 months (some of you I could have to my home for coffee and I would feel I knew you forever,of course you'd be wondering why you were in this stranger's house on the East Coast..hehehe).Anyhow,I'm just learning this whole computor chat thing too so bear with me.;)

Hey Astrotoes,

I have been lurking around this site for the past week, I have an appt. with Dr. Coburn in 2 wks and want to know alot of stuff before I go in and be prepared with questions. but I agree with you, lots of info on this site and great answers. I am just at the beginning of my journey, a little scared about it all and the cost, but feel it's worth it in the long run. I live in the Niagara area so I don't have too far to go to mississauga. You will have to let me know how it goes and what it's like to be newly banded. Maggie

Hey, WELCOME Tres Chic!!!!!

It's okay to be nervous, we all were!!

Think of it like standing in line for the best rollar coaster ride ever. Waiting is the hardest part. Well, the pre-diet isnt great either, but thats only temporary!!

Best Wishes, and talk away!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
