I am interested in getting banded in Mexico, but can't seem to locate a doctor to do the fills. I live near Windsor but am willing to go to Toronto if necessary or even to Detroit. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I was banded by DR Tin in Mississauga, you may want to find a doctor in Ontario to do the banding. His cost was $15,000 CDN and all fills and everything else is coverred. I don't know the cost in Mexico but If you can get someting done locally you may be better off in the long run. If you speak to your family Doctor they should know someone in the Windsor area. If not I would gladly give you doctor Tin's phone number, he is the chief of surgery at the Credit Valley Hospitall im Mississauga so his credentials are strong.

Good luck

Thanks for the response. I am going with a doctor in Missassauga because of the fills mostly. Also I have heard wonderful things about him and I am very confident in his credentials. I am meeting with him on Monday and am very anxious. Congrats on your success so far. continued success to you!!!

Great news and good luck.

Cheeringgranny,

Who's your doctor in Missisauga? Would it be Dr. Cobourn (or Dr. Tin as mentioned before)? I think I'm going with Dr. Cobourn. Let me know how it goes!

Hi Everyone!

I got my band in Hungary, 16/01/06. It was only $5000 + planticket and I was staying with my parents. I am feeling OK, but so far I only lost 10 lbs.

I know a fill would be too soon, but I am looking for a Dr. in Calgary, Alberta who could do it for me(later on). Please let me know, if anybody has information on this.

Thanks Kati
