I had not heard of any other than Inamed until just now.

The Midband - Medical Innovation Developpement in Lyon France

The Swedish Adjustable - Obtech Medical AG of Switzerland now owned by Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon

BioEnterics Corp - Inamed

Every once in a while we get some that pops up with a band from outside the US that is looking for a fill doctor.

I think I remember vaguely of some one have a "Cousine" lapband from Belgium.

There are probably some others.

Are you looking for something in particular?

well i live up in Whitehorse and its about 800$ for a plane ticket so i was looking at getting the band in Vancouver but the one i was thinking about getting its that doctor that as to do the fill i know my doctor here does the fill for this lady but she got the band from Toronto so i cant shop by price i need to shop by brand name i will find out more on Tuesday from my doctor and who in town can do the fill.

Bless your heart you live in a cold place. Isn't the population in that territory pretty small also. I think I read somewhere around 25,000.

Yikes that is great thinking ahead and doing your researching and planning.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I was e-mailed info from my doctor and it said EMMI. Not sure if that's the brand of the band or not.
