Hi Dawn,
I live in Lasalle, just outside of Windsor. I had my Lapband removed a few months ago due to severe acid reflux, a lot of which I couldn't feel. They also found that I had a distended esophagus (I think that's the term they used). As soon as it was gone, I felt 100% better. However I have obviously gained more weight. I lost about 50 pounds in the beginning due to literally throwing up almost everything. I gained it back after having the band almost completely defilled. Then the private clinic where I was a patient closed down and disappeared and there was no help. So...here I am.
I'm going to the orientation at the bariatric clinic on March 16th. Hoping it will calm my nerves a bit. :)
Good morning all,
Boy do I hate when the time changes... it takes me a couple weeks to adjust. Today should be a pretty normal day workwise. Tonight I'm with my trainer at the gym and may do hydro massage just for fun.

Hello
what community are you in?
many lapband patients have been revised to Rny. It will be much better than a lapband.
good luck in your journey it will be amazing!

I have recently been referred to the Bariatric Clinic in Windsor. The orientation is next week on March 16th, and I'm having a lot of anxiety about it. I'm very nervous about having the surgery to begin with.
I had the Lap Band in 2008 and experienced nothing but complications until finally having it removed in September 2019. I was terrified of having my insides rearranged, but I'm hoping I will be able to get past that for the benefits of the surgery. Not sure where I'm going with this....just horrible nerves.
Not having anything done soon. I'm currently losing weight, down to 247 now, so the doc feels I should wait until I reach my goal and stay there for 6 months. Otherwise, i'll just start sagging again. LOL

Recently cleaned my closet and I've got full bag of size 20-22 , size 18, size 14-16 clothes. All to be give away to a people still loosing weight who don't want to spend money for clothes that will only fit for a short time. Let me know I'm in Brampton ON.
Hey there and thanks for responding. I figured you would be the one to ask!
I don't do nearly the amount of cycling you do but I hear you on the leg day. My trainer had me doing squats last week (4 sets of 12 reps) using 95lb barbell then over to the landmine for weighted RDL's. I have more quad muscle now than I did playing soccer in highschool. CRAZY!
Have a great weekend 
Hi there! Look at you go! Sounds like an awesome workout. Like you I use my tracker for a guide only. I don't think it is all that accurate but it gives you an idea.
My legs are absolutely killing me the last two days. A lengthy cycling workout followed by a squats/leg day = torture. I'm walking around like an old man!
Keep up the great work!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
TGIF everyone!
No big plans for my Friday. Work should be a pretty normal day and then I will head to the gym to do my thing which is 10 mins cycle, 45 mins weight training (4 sets of 12 reps per station), and 5-10 min treadmill cool down. Then I'll do a 20 minute Hydro Massage. I can't believe that it was only 6 months ago I joined the gym and barely made it through 10 minutes on the treadmill. My fitbit says I burn 700-1000 cal per workout but I just use it as a gauge,, to me that seems high. Ginny a.k.a. gymbeast? Any feedback on this?

Good morning menu lurkers
I'm a bit late posting but figured I'd still make an effort. I think it's just a normal workday and then I have a session with the trainer tonight. Wish me luck because he likes to do supersets twice in a week so that is what I expect tonight.
