Former SlimBand patients looking for a fill adjustment nurse in Toronto



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a place in Toronto (GTA) where I can get a fill adjustment. Some clinics are asking $5.00.00 just for registration with them! Supposedly that's how much they need 'to take care of me'!!! Is there a place where you can go and get a fill like in the old times?

Sorry RoseIvy… I guess since I don't know what a slim band is nor do I live anywhere near Toronto I have no assistance to offer. Good luck hope you find someone to offer assistance.

I'm confused - you are a Slimband patient but they won't do your fills?

Exactly! The trick is, when I had a surgery it was called 'LapBand' and now it is called 'SLimBand' plus my surgeon resigned. They don't want to talk to me!

Lap band, Slim band…. If they are the same thing why wouldn't any bariatric doctor fill it? Do they have Fill clinic's in your area? I know here they are few and far between. Is there another doctor that you could go to? Good luck!

Right now it is a total chaos in Toronto as far as fills-defills are concerned. There isn't one place I can go to.

      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.
