Yep we are part of Timmins but keep our identity. LOL It's cold as hell up here and very white for sure. We just had a foot of snow the other day while it was -30C. I had my band put in over 8 years ago. At the time it was the best choice for me. RNY was fairly new in Ontario, only a handful of surgeons doing it and the wait was up to 7 years long. I had researched all surgeries available in Ontario at the time and the band suited me best. Fast forward 8 years and I'd not make the same decision today that I did back then. Timeframes are much shorter for surgeries, follow up is much better for the government funded surgeries now compared to back then. I don't regret my decision of 8 years ago at all but today things would be different if I had to make the choice all over again. I've seen too many people experience major issues with their bands over 5 years out, so it would be on the bottom of my list at this point.
