Saskatoon Saskatchewan girl in need of answers



Recommended Posts

I have found an RN in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan that has the lap band. She has been trained and she does her own fills and she is willing to provide fills for other people for $50. I have spoken to her and she seems very knowledgable. Send me a private message and I can put you in contact with her if you want.

In these discussions there is mention of a doctor in Vancouver and a person in Saskatoon, both willing to do lap band fills for persons banded in Mexico.

Could someone please email me information -- name, address, phone number, etc. for these persons.

I am trying to help a friend line up some one to do fills before she heads to Mexico for the surgery.

Please response to komishe@yahoo.com

Many thanks to all

sheelk. Hi - Dr. R. Woodhed does fills for other doctors in Canada. He charges $400.00 consult fee and $80.00 a fill. Cheaper for me than going to Toronto, although I do try to go there if I can.

Dr. W. used to do fills for Mexican patients, but I understand he no longer will take on out of country patients. The only way you will find out is by telephone his office in Ladner/Delta. I don't like posting telephone numbers, but I am sure he is in the telephone book.

She was looking for someone in Saskatoon. Unless she wants to fly to BC for fills?

Anyways, pm'd with contact info!

Thats Ok Argon. I love the fact she is looking for aftercare. You can't imagine how I have been jumped on for mentioning aftercare. Seems there are a few sensitive people out there that don't like me reminding potential bandsters to ensure they have good aftercare. The perception of after care on people starting their research is much different to the reality. Can't imagine why there is such pressure for me to be quiet, unless of course, they represent a particular clinic.

Anyway, Argon I think or hope we have helper this person on the start of her queries.

Hi LemonLuLu I was just banded on June 2 of this year by Dr. Liza Pompa in Mexico, she is awesome! There are quite a few of us bandsters in Saskatoon and 4 just went down this week to see her. We will be getting together every month or two for suppers and support. You can even get your fills done here in Saskatoon by an RN Michelle Wright for 75.00. I can give you her phone number and website address if you are interested. You would be amazed to know how many have gone down from Saskatchewan! I am loving my lap band....Tashcat

      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.
