Hi Penny, I just wanted to check in and wish you the best on your journey!! You must be very excited. Have a great trip, take care and let us know when you're back home and one of us losers! Betty

Thanks Betty Yes I'm packed & ready to go. I have to work this moring but off at noon. I didn't get much sleep last night but can on the drive to Calgary. Thank-you very much and will talk to you when I get back. Thanks again for you support. Penny

So how did it go? I am new here and very interested in getting this done and want to know your experiences... Hope all is well and you are on your way to a healthy life.. LKB

Hi Larry I had my surgery on Aug 6th and having my first fill Sept 22. I see you are from Saskatoon and Dr. Kuri is going to be in Saskatoon doing a seminar on Sept 22/07 at Best Western 1-7 no charge to go but will be very informational. Registratin is at 1-130 and Dr. Kuri will be speaking to everyone 1:30-2:00 and then new people at 2:00-3:00 Then the new people will meet with the co-ordinators for Sask. they help you make arrangements & schedule surgery when you are ready. If you want more information you can go to www.lapbandsask.com & shirley will be able to help you. Hope to see you there Larry I think it will be more assuring for you if you can meet the Doctor himself. It has been a very exciting adventure. I have lost 12lbs in the 6 weeks without my fill and little exercise as I am in the healing stage & lost 14.5 pre-op, so 26.5 lbs is gone forever. I have the tool now to control my eating and as far as the money I look at it as an investment in my & my family's future. Things were not looking good in the direction I was going but I feel much better about myself and my life & that there is a futre ahead... I still have a long way to go but I can see ahead now. Penny

Hi Betty & Penny!! I have a date for my surgery with Dr. Kuri!! It's on November 8th and can't wait to meet him when he comes this weekend!! I have so many questions not only from me but my hubby and my mom (who will be going with me) Can't wait to meet you as well!! See you then! Elaine

Hi Elaine, I've been wondering about you lately. I'm very happy that you have your surgery date, you must be getting excited already. I wish I could make the trip to Saskatoon this weekend. I'm sure you'll learn a lot and will feel more at ease when you go to Mexico after having met Dr Kuri. Have a great weekend and take care. Betty

Congrats Elaine I'm sure this weekend will be very informational... See you on Sat. Penny
