Right now I do not have a band. I was banded in Korea, had band erosion and had my band removed. In 3 months I will be getting a new band. In one month I will be traveling to Canada and I plan at that time to try to find a doctor in Canada who will accept me as a patient for fills for future references.

I was wondering if any Canadians or close to the border Americans can give me their doctors phone numbers so I can call and see if they would accept me as a patient.

I am not sure what band I am getting next maybe ap-s or the midband so finding a doctor who will only accept me if I have one or the other band might affect my decision in what band to get.

Any help would be great.

Canada is a BIG country. You are going to have to narrow down where you are going.

Overall you may have trouble finding a doctor for fills only as lapbands tend to get sold in a package deal of band and support services. We tend to get unlimited fills and unfills as a part of our package deal. There is no harm in trying though, I admit.

I put an emphasis on ANY doctors in Canada as anywhere in Canada would be a lot closer then me going to Korea every time I need a fill.

I will be living in Ontario but if I have to travel to get a fill I don't mind. There must be a doctor somewhere that would take me.

Ontario... I can work with that. The biggest clinic in Ontario is the Surgical Weight Loss Centre in Mississauga and it has a very good reputation. It's probably your best bet because of its size.

I go to CIBO in Toronto. Overall I give it a meh. I am not terribly disappointed but I'm not stunningly thrilled. LAP-BAND® Surgery Weight Loss Surgery Clinic Toronto | CIBO

There are two other clinics in Toronto. Nobody I know has gone to the Yorkville one downtown and I haven't heard anything good about Slimband. Laparoscopic Band Surgery – (Gastric Band – Slimband) Again though, if you're just looking for fills you may have different priorities.

There are a lot of banded patients in Canada that no longer have a contact to have their band adjusted (fills / defills). If you are one of them, please reach out to me - I may be able to help.
