I thought I'd share my personal experience in the event anyone is trying to find a Doctor in Nova Scotia to take care of their fills. I am getting banded on August 21 and after much research I was concerned with how to handle the necessary follow up care and I was under the impression that Pictou was the nearest place to go, and me without a car, yikes! After the consultation with my surgeon and a long chat with WLSC in Mississauga, I found out that HALIFAX now has a fill Doctor. He started a few months ago and am happy to have a properly trained fill doctor so close to where I live. When I asked my surgeon about the DVD's that some clinics provide to patients for their famly doctors, he said their clinic does not do that as it can cause future complications since they are not properly trained, however, if your family doctor is willing to go to Ontario then the clinic would train them, very interesting! Just thought I'd share my experience because I know I had such a hard time finding a local fill doctor and I'm sure there are others out there like ME :thumbup:

Thanks Doddie, and I appreciate your email to guide me through. I was very pleased to find out they got someone in my area and it was the first question on my list. Getting excited and looking forward to the days and months to come :thumbup:

The Dr. in Halifax is Dr. Robert Stalker and I currently don't have the specifics on where the office is within Halifax. Once I've had my surgery next month and then my first fill then I will know more. If you are interested in the Pictou nurse then you may wish to call the SWLC in Ontario and I'm sure the nurses there would gladly help answer any questions you have. Here is the contact info:

To reach the nurses – either Tammy or Sue, please call 1-866-803-6415 at extension 243. Their email is nurses@lapband.ca

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
