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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
