That was the clinic I went to. I love Dr. Yau and the suuport from the staff has been great so far.

The other clinic is in Mississauga. Drs. Coburn and Mumford. I did not chooses that one because I live downtown and wanted something more convenient.

Perhaps that is a consideration for you as well.

Good luck

Oh my, you've got alot of posts asking the same question! I hope eveyone just picks this one!

If you're in the Toronto area, I'm sure you're only gonna hear raves about the TLBC and the SWLC (www.lapband.ca). The SWLC/Dr. Cobourn is who I went with, and I'm more than happy with it. I'd give them a visit and decide who you feel more comfortable with.

Good luck!

(just in case you're thinking I'm a jerk, I only didn't post the link to the TLBC cause I assumed she'd known about it because she'd been there?! Not a jerk! I'm not!)

their website used to list "Our Doctors", but now it just says "Our Doctor", so I imagine they just have one for now, Dr. Yau.

      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.
