How does one go about getting a tubal in Manitoba, and what is the waiting period like?
Thank you

And getting the lap band here is $18,000 plus so cost prohibitive for most of us. I'm throwing a question out to all of you who have been accepted into the MB program....... How long did you wait from the time your doc sent in the referral to the time you heard one way or the other?
The lap band is the least successful and hardest to lose with. It has a foreign body inside you , and there are way more complications. Scaring, erosion slippage. Not to mention getting fills all the time.
The criteria is here...http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/MB/4612985/program-guidelines-for-manitoba-weight-loss-surgery/
HW 295 lbs,CW 195, nuts goal-210, my goal 175 surgery date April 3 in Tijuana with Dr Ponce De Leon
I have been searching on this site for the criteria, where did you find it? Have you considered lap band in Wpg?
I just found a snack at Costco yesterday that is pretty good. They're called Snapea Crisps. They are toasted (or something to make them crispy) snap peas. They come in a box of 32 packages I think (I'm at work, so the box isn't here). They have small packages that are just the right size. They are nice and lightly crunchy and taste salty, although the packaging claims they're low in salt.
The 21 g package has 100 calories and 4 g of protein. By the time I get to the end of a package, that's all I want.

Hello BooBoo and welcome. If I need a snacky, salty treat I have some roasted, salted Soya nuts. I get mine from walmart and they are the Joe Traveller (? I think) brand. The have decent protein counts and are very filling (a 1/4 cup will do you) and they are cheap - $2 a bag, which will last for a long long time.
