hi tristin - i'm being banded by dr. yumford, oops, mumford, on june 3. i feel relieved that i have finally made the decision. unfortunately it was the cost holding me back. i know a lot of us don't have 16K in our back pocket but these forums, including the swlc forum made me realize that the cost is totally worth it - how can you put a price on your health! so you're a week into this now, how is it going? how was the Optifast? i am feeling like if i can make it through the optifast and 4 weeks post-op, i can do just about anything!!! i know these 6 weeks will be torturous to me! any regrets? second thoughts? were you happy with the clinic? do you live in the gta? i am flying in from edmonton so i would pick your brains about hotels, etc. if you are from out of town. anyway - sorry for all the questions.
