Well said and well done Andrew. I could not agree with you more. It is suppose to be a place where people can find options and support not be run out of town becasue they consider solutions outside of our borders. I applaud you for your post and agree 1000% with you. This too has been my experience!

Again so many assumptions! Heavens help us if the Canadian Government do not approve the band in the next 20 years! Perhaps you should re read my post again all I can say is touché my dear and good luck!

No one is disputing that emergencies may occur with the band a broken arm whatever it is. In the case of an emergency I am sure the banster will know not to travel to Mexico, America or whereever these people are not idiots. Furthermore the Dr in Mexico actually phone you back if you have emergency questions or problelms and will advice you accordingly what to do. In such instances people will go to their local emergency rooms and willnot be refused treatment. My gosh you guys ARE SO ANTI MEXICO/AMERICA. Or are you simply always lookign for the worse case scenario? Stop scaring people. Not everyone is willing to wait 1/2/3 years to get treatment. Enough damage can be caused to ones health in that time. And yes if an emergency happens I will be going to my local hospital and get treatment. The odds of such emergencies are very low and I am willing to take that risk. As a matter of fact I have heard of an instance where someone had to do that and the Dr actually saved the band and did not give the patient as hard a time as you are giving those who want to go to Mexico.

I was banded by Dr Ortiz in Mexico in Novemeber. He is an excellent Dr and woudl highly recomnd him. I have since had my fill done in Auburn Washington and have NO regrets. Travelling 2 hours to get to them ievein in an emergency is probably quicker than seeing a Dr in the emergency room at LGH!

I am getting banded in Mexico next Friay and would like to know which Dr in Vancovur will do fills for patients who got banded in Mexico?

I am getting banded on Friday Oct 26 and was wondering where Dr Oritz BC patients get fills from? Does anyone have any recommendations?:help:
