Recommended Posts

hi everyone ,

As most of the people here i have been struggling with weight all my life , and it seems the more i try to loose the more i gain and the more desperate i become to loose and do drastic measures to loose weight. So i have decided to do the lap band surgery and hopefully this tool will give me the assistance i need to keep the weight off for good and finally be in control ....

I live in Montreal Canada and was wondering if there are any fellow Montrealers here who have done it or are thinking of doing it ....

I have decided after much research to try to be banded overseas as the cost of the surgery is much more reasonable , i spoke to a few people on the site who have been very helpful with information .....

love to hear stories of anyone who did their surgery in Belgium .....

Hello,

I'm being banded on Nov. 18th in Montreal. I went through the public health card and will be paying 5,100. and only had to wait 2 1/2 months. When I went in for my first visit (sept) they told me it would be about 7 months, but I was called only a few weeks later with my date. If you have the health card in Quebec, I would check it out before going overseas. Everything is covered here but the band itself, which is the 5,100 cost. Good luck! If you have other questions please let me know.

      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.
