Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies :thumbup:

I'm at work tonite....but don't tell my boss !!!!! I'm not supposed to be surfing but I'm bored at the moment !!!

So our next meeting is July 16th in North Vancouver and anyone is most definitely welcome to join us !!! If you would like to be on my 'reminder list' and you need to email me so that I have your email address.

And for all of you that will be attending I need suggestions for a topic...if you'd like a topic. Otherwise we can have a 'meet, greet and ask' type meeting like the last few. Just kindof open to general questions and chit-chat. Your choice :lol:.....

So tell me what you all think....

Mail me.... canadagirl33@hotmail.com or just post here and I'll read it over the next few days.

Take care everyone !!!!

Canadagirl33;

Who was your doctor in Bellingham. Was he good. Someone said Dr Woodhead in ladner is not doing anyone but his surgery patience.

Thanks Vanman

Hi Vanman :biggrin2:

I had my surgery done at NWWLS in Everett and go to their satellite office in Bellingham for my fills. Unfortunately they only do fills for their own patients as they are an extremely busy practice. If you are looking for a fill Dr I can ask around and see if I can find someone. Are you willing to travel across the line to do it if necessary?

And Hello to all of you other Vancouver area Bandsters as well !!! :biggrin2:

It's almost that time of the month again, and this is as good a time as any to post my reminder on here. The meeting will be next week, Wednesday July 16th, at Lions Gate Hospital in conference room C. You are all welcome to join us, whether you've been before or not, we're happy to have you !!!

At this point I don't have any suggestions for a topic of discussion so if any of you have something you would like discussed please let me know and I'll try to track down some written material.

Feel free to email me with questions or suggestions and hopefully I'll see you all next week !!!!

I have my consultation on July 31, in 3 weeks. I have to get my barium swallow done next week and blood work. I can't wait to go to my consult. Do they ever turn you down? Plus my consult is $400.

Hi Everyone. We had another great turnout to our support meeting at Lions Gate Hospital. We don't have a structured meeting just everyone telling their journey and lots of laughs.

Anyone contemplating banding, pre op or post op and support person please come out to the meetings every third Wednesday. It's free and fun. :)

Thanks for the great discussion, advice and support at last night's meeting - it's especially valuable as I prepare for my surgery on August 6th....I'll be banded 2 weeks when we next meet!!! See you on the other side.

Correction: No TLBC Fill Nurse for BC

TLBC fill nurse visiting BC next month will NOT DO FILLS FOR ANYONE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TLBC.

There was a misunderstanding on the post that indicated for a fee she would do fills. However, the intent was for the Lions Gate Support Group no one else thinking we were all TLBC patients.

Never mind sharon I see your point. Yes they still are meeting a Lionsgate hosp. on a regular basis. I just haven't gone,myself. Perhaps send a message directly to Patricia. They met last on July 17th in conference room C at LGHospital.:thumbup:

      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.
