Just wondering if there is anyone on the site that might have had their surgery at Blue Water Clinic........ my surgery is next month and would like to hear your thoughts on the Clinic and the "service" provided to you. Thanks!

I have been talking to them since Sept.. went for first consult in Oct.. I was way too busy to deal with this over Christmas so called in Jan.. but they aren'tdoing it until Feb. and it is the day before my Dad's 90 th party..... I would be very interested in what you find.... Blessings Neila

I know Dr Joffe and Yau used to do some surgery out of the Bluewater are they still doing surgery there? Is there someone else doing surgery there. I am just curious because i thought it was great that somewhere outside of Toronto was getting banding done.

I believe that Dr. Taylor and .. I can't remember the other doctor's name, were trained by the doctors from McGill Bariatric Center. They were supervised for almost a yr. They only do operations once a month.. if they have enough clients and the anithiesiologist.. Sp??? haha . I read in Dr. Oz's book that you should go to a clinic that does at 100 lap bands a yr.. so they are in the loop surgically speaking.. Just my thoughts..

thank you for the information interesting I hadn't heard that Joffe or Yau was going down to Sarnia.

As for the 100 patients someone has to be in the first 100 and I know the 3 patient in Canada to be banded and she has never ever had an issue lost all her weight and has kept it off for 5 + years now. I kinda went with the method of being somewhere between 50-60.. and the docs only get better with time.

Yes.. there are 2 doctors at Blue Water who do the surgery... Dr Taylor and Dr Muhunthan......... I am meeting with them next week for my consult..... yikes...... excited and nervous for the future me!:nervous

keep us posted .. re:" dates etc...

Good luck!!!

Does anyone know the cost at Blue Water? I'm just starting my research and I live in Chatham, so Blue Water would be a good option.

the cost is $15000/ I have not had it done ... exploring other options right now.. Good luck

Blessings
