Heather, Who in Calgary is doing fills for Mexican patients? I am also hoping to book in with Dr. Ortiz but I really want a fill doc first. Thanks so much! Danielle

Do you go to Mexico for fills or did you manage to find someone in Calgary? Also, who did you go to in Mexico? I am considering Dr Ortiz. Thanks!

hello! i am also from alberta, which company are you with? Manulife sent me a message saying that since Alberta Health Care covers it, they don't. What's that about??!! Did it matter if you went out of country? thanks,

Hello! I am considering Dr.Ortiz. Can you tell me how much it cost to get it done there? I am from Calgary so I would have to fly down. Did you need to get a hotel? Thanks ! DannyLu

Hi. I too have Manulife (in Alberta), did you ever find out if they will cover it? Danielle

Hi holidaygirl, Please let me know if you find someone in Calgary who is taking patients for fills. I am also from south of Calgary and am looking into travelling to Mexico for Lap band. I am leaning towards Dr.Ortiz as it seems like he is notorious for lap band surgery. I have just emailed them requesting more info. If I find anything out I will let you know! Do you know where you want to go?
