Hi,"Green"

If you can make it to Bloor and Spadina, on TTC, I can give you a lift from there. Susan Silver is also coming with me, I think???

That would be cool. I live fairly close to Bloor and Spadina. I live at Bloor and Dufferin and I often walk home from my doc's office/physio's office and these are situated close to Bloor and Spadina.

What time, what day, and how will we recognise each other??? It would be fun to meet you all.

Well, I went to the lapband lunch at Kelsey's yesterday and it sure was a lot of fun. :biggrin1: It is really great to meet fellow lapbandsters in the real world. ;) I want to thank the folks who arranged this get-together and Lisa In TO who very kindly helped me out by giving me a lift. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: A very big thanks from Green. :ranger:

Hi I too had a great time at the luncheon :hungry: yesterday. It was nice seeing those I haven't seen since the annual bandster bash in May and new pre-op and post op bandsters. Was sorry I had to leave early but at least I missed being tempted to have dessert ;).

Looking forward to the next get together!

Hello All

I wanted to say a special Thank You to all those who attended the lunch yesterday, you all made me feel very welcome, and I am even more excited about getting "banded" on August 15 (if it is possible to be more excited) Thank you for sharing your wisdom, hope, strength and compassion. I look forward to "lunching" with you all really soon.

Loiely I'm east of Toronto as well (Peterborough) - next time we go - I'll drive and we can arrange a meeting place so I can pick you up. I didn't go either.

Canadian Lapbanders organizes a lunch every month and they move it around the city so it hits the west end, east end, and central areas as well. Anyone is welcome to join I know Laurie who organizes them was going to post on Lapbandtalk as well. I think this months is in Ajax at Applebees but I don't know the date.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
