Has anyone used Dr Woodhead in Delta B.C. I am thinking of getting banded by him soon. Looking for others who can give me some info on their experience with him...............I'm still worried about doing this!

Hi Andi :thumbs_up:

If you look on the main support page you will see that there is a Canadian group. In that group there have been a few discussions about Dr. Woodhead that you should read. You'll also find things in that thread that informative for you and info on a support group in North Vancouver that you may want to attend to talk to some of us local Bandsters :frown:

You ask if I'm happy with my band?

Well I've lost over 100lbs....I look better, I feel better, my hips, knees and ankles don't ache every day. I've cut my chances of diabetes, stroke and heart attack (all family issues for me). I'm happier, I smile more, I'm more self-confident, I have a ton more energy.

So am I happy??

You couldn't make me give up my band foe a million bucks !!!! :biggrin2:

I LOVE my band !!!! I wish I had done this surgery years ago instead of going thru life with a fake smile and pretending I didn't mind being morbidly obese. It's actually sad when I think about it....

Anyhow....I plan on keeping my band for the rest of my life !!! :rolleyes2:

I see that you've found the Canadian board so you'll find out about a few of us 'locals'....and hopefully if you can manage it, you'll join us for a support meeting in North Vancouver.

All the best !!!!

I'm actually being banded by Dr. Woodhead July 9th. He's a really nice man with great bed side manners. You know, there are some doctors out there without manners :tongue:

My first appt with him was back in May. Looking forward to it.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
