Contact info for ANY Canadian or close to Canada Doctors



Recommended Posts

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.

LAP-BAND®® Surgery Clinic | Weight Loss & Gastric Balloon in Toronto, Canada

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. ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
