Dr. Tin - Toronto Cosmetic Clinic

If ya want good seafood, go to a place that specializes in seafood. If ya want awesome pizza, go to a place that specializes in pizza. If you want a lapband, go to a place that specializes in lapband surgery.

Just a thought. Looking at the TCC website, they do a lil of EVERYTHING......if ya know what I mean jellybean.

Now, if I was lookin' to have my hymen re-installed....well....then it might be a consideration!!! ;)

Seriously...ya, do the consult....and go where your gut tells you....if it is for the sake of saving only a grand...I'd still go to the place that specializes in the surgery as opposed to the place that has it as one of dozens of menu items.

Righton Yoda. As I said on an earlier post " knowledge on some Master of none". I went to the leaders in Canada Dr. Joffe and Dr. Yau who pioneered the banding in Canada. I have had no problems with my band in fact I am at the time I need a fill as I can eat everything. Doddie

Yes, might as well get as many consults, get a feel for what we're getting into. But yes, it's those little things that might be an indication of where they are best prepared. But yes, not judging too quickly too, they might talk to us about this later on, as for the ammount of surgeries he has been doing gastric banding for 2 years. And a surgeon who has been in private practice since 1988 and has a ton of credentials is always good.

I'll ask when i go but it looks like it might be the only operation Dr. Tin does, and that others do the rest....but we'll see. Because it's a team of surgeons. Also, yeah, i definitely wouldnt choose a place because of the 1000$.

      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.

        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!
