What are the topics for the seminars? I live about 3 hours away in Canada and I'm trying to decide whether to go...I was just banded on Nov. 20th by Dr. Ortiz.

Hi everyone, I'm finally back home in Canada....5 days post-op, and feeling great. I hope everyone else is doing well. Glad to hear, Terri, that there was nothing serious wrong! It's great to see the scale on the downwards slide!

Hi everyone...I just had my surgery a couple of hours ago and feel great. Still walking around...4 other ladies also had their done today. Everything seems to be doing great. thanks for the well wishes!

Great to hear that everyone is doing well, Terri. Not sure when any of you are departing but I'm arriving tonight for my surgery on Monday. Hope to see some of you there!

That's awesome advice, Greg! Thanks for posting it. I am flying to San Diego/TJ tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for Monday so this info was greatly needed. I'm looking forward to crossing over to the banded side!

Hi Lori, I checked out the website but I'm still not sure...what is a Bandster Splash & Bash??? What is the purpose and who is the audience? Thanks!

Hi Cookie, There is also another forum at lapbandtalk.com and it has people from all around the world. This is an excellent forum too but there are more people on the other one so I often bounce between them both. Hope all is going well with your band!

Hi. Glad to hear the new bandsters are doing well. Good luck to those getting banded tomorrow!!! I am flying into San Diego/TJ on Saturday evening so hopefully I can meet some of you then! Hang in there!

Hang in there Julie....I'm sure that everyone feels that way in the beginning and especially when you're so uncomfortable. Definitely call your doctor and talk to him about it...don't suffer in silence. Hope you're feeling better soon!

CanadaJulie, glad to hear things went well for you. I've not heard one thing bad about the clinic from anyone. I'm one week done pre-op and 1 week left to go. I can't wait! Here is an updated list for everyone: GOOD LUCK TO NEXT WEEK'S BANDERS!! Updated list: Kelly (California) - Nov 1 Kyle (Arizona) - Nov 1 Teri (Arizona) - Nov 1 kym828

Hi Nikki, I've read several posts from women at www.lapbandtalk.com who have gotten pregnant with the band. Usually they have to get an "unfill" at about 7 months. I'm getting banded in 2 weeks and looking forward to it! Good luck with your research

Hi Julie, I'm from Vancouver. Do you mean the Cdn lap banders on lapbandtalk.com?? If so then yes...I don't know of any other Cdn on line group.... Good to meet ya tho! Good luck...only a few days away, eh? Hi Kathy, I'm getting banded on the 20th and I'll still be in the TJ/San Diego area on the 23rd. I don't fly back home until the 25th. Maybe I'll see you there!
