Has anyone had Dr. Mumford from the Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Toronto do their band? If so, what was your experience like with him? I'm going to have a consultation with him over the phone next week.

Thanks.

Jodie

He's an angel. Nothing less. Kind, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and will still give it to you straight if and when you need it. You couldn't ask for a better surgeon. :gluck:

Dr McMumford......

Did you not know that he's in lurve with me. Don't tell anyone else but from the moment that he met me, he lurved me for who I was. He lurved every little riple of cellutlite, every little (OK so every large) roll I have. He has lurved me "just the way I am". So you see that we are in fact having a lurve affair. It's OK with me if you meet with him and have a consultation. It's OK with me if you even let him do the surgery, but I'll be darned... that you havr fills with him. OK so I'm delusional. Do what you have to do...but just remember that he is still and will always be in lurve with me.

Sincerely,

McWheezy

You guys are hysterical!!

Aren't we lucky that the three amigos Mumford/Colbourn/Yau are such good looking doctors? How can we NOT love them?

Both Dr. M. & C. are good and kind and all that good stuff but the real important people at the clinic are the beautiful nurses. They actually do the fills and the follow up visits. You could not ask for better people to help you. All the staff try to meet your needs and are very friendly.

Be sure you are in good hands with Dr. M. and friends.:clap2:

Dr. Mumford banded me on Thursday! He was very nice and his staff is WONDERFUL! I would do it again any day of the week for sure!

Dr. Mumford was my surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He said he would call the next day and he did...not typical of most men. LOL

On a serious note, the clinic you have chosen is by far "A World Class" Center. On the day of my surgery they made sure to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Honestly, I was not nervous at all. From the moment I walked into the clinic to the moment I lay down on the surgery table I was never alone. Dr. Mumford met with me before surgery to go over any questions and to instruct me on what would happen over the next 48 hours. When I woke up, in pain, he was there within minutes to say hi, tell me everything went well and to perscribe me liquid codene. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mumford or the Staff at the clinic. To this day, they are all very helpful and extremely cordial.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
