Can Anyone Give Me Their Fill Doctor Info



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Korea a few months ago. I had the band taken out because of erosin and will get another one in 3 months. I have started to do some research in trying to find a fill doctor for when I do go back to Canada to live but I haven't had much luck.

I will be living in Ontario but traveling anywhere in Canada will be a heck of a lot closer then Korea.

Can anyone give me their fill doc contact info so I can contact them to see if they would accept me as a patient?

I am starting to freak out. I am self pay and so far I can only find places that want me to pay $5,000 for me to go to their clinic for fills. I can't afford that! I am hoping to find something cheaper.

Thanks for the help in advance :eek:

I see Dr. Mitchell in Calgary. He's $150/fill. You can reach his office at 403-264-6720 option 6. I was banded in Mexico and he's a-ok with seeing me. I don't think he'd have an issue with seeing someone banded in Korea. You can also try Dr. Burke at 403-278-3411. She does Mexico patients as well and is cheaper at $100/fill.

Hopefully someone in Ontario will chime in and provide you with some closer choices. Good luck!

I know back when I was banded there was a doctor at the Grande Prairie hospital that would do fills and bill them through AHC so you wouldn't have to pay, provided your doctor wrote a letter, but I don't know if this is still the case. I don't know what's available north of Calgary. I've met a few people at Dr. Mitchell's office from Edmonton, so I'm guessing options are limited.

I had my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz with Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Best of luck in your journey. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
