Help!!!

I had my surgery on May 16th, 2011. Im ready for my first fill. the Doctor that i was refered to has informed me she is no longer taking on new Lap Band patients.

I live in Manitoba Canada. If anyone can recommend a Dr near me, please let me know. the hospital and surgical team that did my surgery know about my issue and is also looking, but i need all the help i can get.

this surgery has given me huge progress toward reclaiming my life. I don't want to start slipping backwards now. to have the surgery was litereally a choice of life and death for me, I can't go back...

It would help if you were a little more specific about where you are looking. Manitoba is a big place. I searched and found only one...in Winnipeg. It's the Maples Surgical Centre. But since it's the only one I found I'll assume that's the one you already contacted. How far are you willing to travel and do you need to stay in Canada or can you cross the border? There are a couple in Grand Forks, ND. That's about 3 hours from Winnipeg but I guess it beats going to Mex-ico!

Yes, i did contact the Maples Surgical Center. As of last night, they emailed me back...they ahven't been accpeting new patients "for quite some time" Apparently the lap Band is not lucritive enough business up here.

Thank you for the grand Forks lead though...Im more than willing to go there, Crossing the border isn't a problem...if need be i will go back to mexico. But closer to home is always nicer.
