  4. Kacy, you are not slower then most. A lot of folks are struggling with the band ans loosing weight.
  5. I have been researching about having surgery in Mexico. I want to know what happens if something goes wrong? I researched a dr in Tijuana and he said it there is a problem to send him a 911 pictures message and he will call my dr here to let them know what to do. I wonder how that works and if out health insurance will cover it? Do you know where to look for that?
  6. Sure. I live in London Ontario but we have a lot of patients here who came from Calgary. Going to Mexico was one of my options but I did not. Also I am thinking about going to Mexico for some plastic surgery. Who is doing your surgery? What is your surgery date?

  22. Hey I just thought of this. I can't believe I didn't think of this before. My doctor does fills but not for my clinic. She would do it for you without any problems. Daaaaaa. lol. Her name is Dr. Saadaldeen. She has a few patients with the band. My clinic is very picky who does their fills. Don't waist your money on that package. Hope to see you soon.

  24. Call Surgical Weightloss Centre in Mississauga and ask them name of the doctor in London who does fills for them in London, he is somewhere in Wortley village.
