Where do you live in Canada? There are quite a few places you can go, but I need to know which city!

Hi, It took FIVE long hours for mine to work, and then it was still working the next morning! Stock up on your favourite videos and stay close to the biffy and you'll be fine! Zena

Hi, I am brand new to this site and am glad I found it. I had an RNY in 2000 and lost 130 lbs. I kept it off for quite a while, but eventually, the pouch and stoma stretched (and, to be honest, my eating was not as careful) and I have gained back 40 lbs. After much deliberation, I decided to get a lap band over my RNY so that I can, once again, have a feeling of restriction AND adjust it tighter as needed. If anybody out there has had a lap band over your RNY, please can you write in and let me know how this worked for you. My surgery is scheduled for Aug 6th in Toronto. I am a mixture of excitement and fear that this will be another long recovery like the RNY (open). I will be grateful for anything experience/advice/comments those of you who have gone through this can pass on. Thank you, Zena
