Hi all,

In my Quest to make sure all of my questions get answered before I go ahead with the surgery, I've created somewhat of a small fear in my mind. If I go ahead with the surgery I will almost certainly be headed for Mexico as I have insufficient documentation to warrant getting it covered by medical here and would ultimately pay less than half down there. My concern is that I will struggle to find a doctor here in Alberta that will do my fills because of legal issues or what have you. If there happen to be any Canucks out there who have dealt with this already I would love to here from you. Thanks much.

hi! is going to WA an option? there are dr's in seatle that would likely see you.

i would DEFINITALLY find a dr BEFORE you have the surgery who will treat you locally. you could have any number of complications and always better to be prepared and not need it then need it and be S.O.L. maybe your primary dr could do some research on the band and learn to do fills. they are so simple its just a shot! you could give him INAMED's website address and he could probably contact them to get some band info.

i am in WA, near spokane and will be going to baniff this summer!

I understand what your going threw, but no fear I know some doctors who are certified and awesome.I know quite a few lapband patients who are very very successful in weight loss.I know a awesome hospital in Mexico where you will get nothing but tender loving care. and a great price. Are you interested.
